Only question here is whether the Kriegsmarine was poking fun at their own country and its history with England . . . or the evil empire England has become under its current management. Either way, some Brits were not amused.
I think they were referring to Scapa Flow where the German Navy scuttled itself after WWI. The steel has not been subject to the radiation of all the nuke testing. I think there is a way to negate that issue now. Read the story of Scapa Flow sometimes very sad. The Brits murdered the German crews that did the scuttling.Side note... some time in the past I read that the steel in the sunken ships in German harbors is the most expensive on the planet for some reason....
