Were German Navy Ships Scuttled with Chemical Weapons Post War?

Posts 1 to 1

Hi From the 'Report on sea dumping of chemical weapons by the United Kingdom in the Skaggerrak waters post World War Two' They use the term 'C Convoy' for ships that were to be dumped (scuttled) at sea. And some of them were dumped in areas where old ships were scuttled with chemical weapons, have lead some reserachers to get confused. They see 'C Convoy' as chemical and the areas they were dumped as proof they were carring such munitions. The German cruiser Leipzig is included in the C Class list. No evidence has been found that she was loaded with CW munitions. However, her wreck is well away from the two planned British CW scuttlling areas by the Norwegians have her recorded as a 'Poison Gas Site' Here is the list of (war) ships given in the list Z-34 Destroyer TF1, T38,T39, torpedo boatS S-Boats S7, S9, S12 M16,M522 minesweepers Leipzig, Berlin cruisers I have seen a photo of the Leipzig scuttling, a hugh explosion blots out the ship, hardly something you would want to do if the CW munitions could drift off into the wind and contaminate the ships that brought her to the sinking place. In addition, where do you put such munitions? How much danger can there be by trying to pile up old ammunition in a ship desinged to be subdivided into compartments for battle survivability?
