		The German vessels were the most efficient; by 1911, German designers had abandoned both steam and gasoline (which was volatile and therefore hazardous within the confines of a submarine) and had equipped all their vessels with diesel engines.
		The Germans used long-range search aircraft to coordinate the wolf packs; the British and Americans replied with antisubmarine aircraft carriers and fleets of hunter-killer submarines that were guided to the German vessels by sensitive direction-finding radios installed aboard surface vessels.
		With the end of the Cold War, the question of how to dispose of the nuclear engines in aging submarines became paramount, especially for the former Soviet fleet, many of whose vessels were retired during the decade of the 1990s.

		Grand Fleet commander Sir John Jellicoe later admitted that he lived in constant fear of the potential damage U-boats could wreak upon the Grand Fleet were they to enter Scapa Flow undetected.
		It was from Scapa Flow that the Grand Fleet put to sea at the end of May 1916 to engage the German High Seas Fleet in what was to comprise the last great fleet action between two of the world's great naval powers at Jutland.
		In 1919 Scapa Flow lost its status as the fleet's main base to Rosyth in the Firth of Forth; it was however restored with the arrival of renewed war in 1939.

	GERMANIA: Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Vandals, Vikings, Orkney, etc.
		Six major German tribes, the Visigoths, the Ostrogoths, the Vandals, the Burgundians, the Lombards, and the Franks participated in the fragmentation and the collapse of the Western Roman Empire.
		This might seem to be rather far from anything, but it put the fleet in a position, at the entrance to the North Sea, to intercept the German High Seas Fleet whatever it might do.
		As it happened, the German fleet was thus intercepted in 1916, resulting in the Battle of Jutland.

	The Gallipoli Campaign - NZHistory.net.nz
		With the German High Seas Fleet contained in the North Sea, the possibility of launching amphibious attacks on the enemy was particularly evident to the British First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill.
		Impatient to use British naval resources, he advanced a series of proposals, among them an assault on the Dardanelles - the nearly 50 kilometre-long strait separating the Aegean Sea from the Sea of Marmara, which at its narrowest point, the Narrows, was less than two kilometres wide.
		The object would be to pass a force into the Sea of Marmara and threaten the capital of Germany's ally the Ottoman Empire.
