If Britain captured the interned High Seas Fleet

What would Britain have done if it seized the entire interned German fleet at Scapa Flow?

It would face an awkward division of war prizes among the Allies, an outcome Britain preferred to avoid.

Britain did not necessarily want to add the interned German ships to its own fleet. Seizing them intact would trigger arguments over their distribution among the victorious powers. British officials wanted the ships removed from that bargaining problem. The unusually open flow of news into and out of Scapa Flow is presented as one subtle way in which the scuttling outcome was allowed to become possible.
