Attempted to search but found nothing of previous topics covering this. Apologies if that isn't accurate. Small question, just interested in the possible outcome and likely scenario of if the German fleet had actually made their last suicidal raid with the High Seas fleet. I don't know how accurate this statement is, but Wiki (unless someone can provide more detail as to the objectives) states

" The plan involved two simultaneous attacks by light cruisers and destroyers, one on Flanders and another on shipping in the Thames estuary; the five battlecruisers were to support the Thames attack while the dreadnoughts remained off Flanders. After both strikes, the fleet was to concentrate off the Dutch coast, where it would meet the Grand Fleet in battle."

Lets assume that the crews are managed, and revolts or dissention is crushed prior to leaving. The plan is given the green light with crew loyalty not in question. What could have been achieved, what damage could have been inflicted, and the results (if any) of such a final battle?
