The American battleships occupied a prominent position in the north column of the Grand Fleet on the occasion of the surrender of the German High Seas Fleet, on November 21, 1918, off the mouth of the Firth of Forth and assisted in escorting it into that port where the German vessels were searched and later dispatched under guard to Scapa Flow, Orkney Islands, for internment. The American vessels did not accompany the surrendered German war vessels to Scapa, but were detached from the British Grand Fleet on December 1, 1918, and sailed from Rosyth for Portland (Weymouth). The day after the surrender of the German Fleet the _Nevada_, which had been serving with Division 6 of the Atlantic Fleet in Bantry Bay, Ireland, joined Division 9, at Rosyth and proceeded with it to Portland. AT CASTLETOWN BEREHAVEN, BANTRY BAY, IRELAND. The Annual Report of the Secretary of the Navy makes the following remarks concerning Division 6: Division 6, composed of the _Utah_ (flagship), _Nevada_, and _Oklahoma_, was based on Berehaven, Bantry Bay, Ireland, its principal duty being to protect our convoys from possible enemy raiders. This division made two trips into the Channel, escorting convoys when enemy submarines were reported in the vicinity. Maj. Leon W. Hoyt was the division Marine officer of this division during its entire stay in European waters. The _Nevada_ joined the American battleships of Division 9 the day after the surrender of the German Fleet off Rosyth, near Edinburgh. ESCORTING THE PRESIDENT INTO BREST. Division 9 joined Division 6 at Portland Bill and both divisions left that port in time to assist the _Pennsylvania_ in escorting President Wilson, on board the _George Washington_, into the harbor of Brest. WELCOMED HOME BY NAVAL REVIEW. On December 14, 1918, our battleships sailed from Brest for the United States, arrived off Ambrose Lightship the afternoon of Christmas Day, and the next morning steamed into New York Harbor where they were accorded a great demonstration. The naval review was followed by a land parade of all the returning officers, Bluejackets, and Marines. THE ATLANTIC FLEET. Col. (Brig. Gen.) John T. Myers was the fleet Marine officer of the Atlantic Fleet from before the outbreak of the war to August 23, 1918, being relieved on that date by Col. Frederic L. Bradman who continued on that duty until after the armistice. Col. John F. McGill was force Marine officer of the Battleship Force and later force Marine officer of Battleship Force Two until August 14, 1918, when he was relieved by Maj. Harold C.
