Three weeks later, on 15 October, Weddigen also sank the old cruiser HMS Hawke, and the crew of U 9 became national heroes. Each was awarded the Iron Cross Second Class, except for Weddigen, who received the Iron Cross First Class. The sinkings caused alarm within the British Admiralty, which was increasingly nervous about the security of the Scapa Flow anchorage, and the fleet was sent to ports in Ireland and the west coast of Scotland until adequate defenses were installed at Scapa Flow. This, in a sense, was a more significant victory than sinking a few old cruisers; the world's most powerful fleet had been forced to abandon its home base.

⇒沈没によって、スカパ・フロー停泊地の安全性についてますます神経質になったので、英国海軍省内部に警戒感が引き起こされた。艦隊は、スカパ・フローで適正な防御が装備されるまで、アイルランドの港やスコットランドの西部沿岸に送られた。これは、ある意味では、古い巡洋艦を少し沈めたことを補って余りある重要な勝利であった。世界の最も強力な艦隊が、そのホーム基地を放棄することを余儀なくされたのであった。
