What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Kms F2: Gutter Sound, Scapa Flow, Orkney as Destroyer (second World War)-(1946), Sloop (20th Century)-(1946). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The Kms F2 was a German U-boat that was scuttled in Scapa Flow, Orkney, during the Second World War; it was sunk in 1946 as part of the post-war disposal of captured Axis vessels. No lives were lost, and it holds historical significance as a reminder of the German naval presence in the region during the war.
