If anybody could have done it, the Germans could have. Their High Seas Fleet, the equivalent of the Royal Navy's Home Fleet, could probably have snuck past the Royal Navy in a fog. That's what happened in World War II when the German ships Scharnhorst and Prinz Eugen made their Channel dash. The Germans could have been off the East Coast of the United States in no time at all. Remember at this time, it was easier to get past the Royal
Navy because there were no spy satellites.
In all the fog you forgot the Gneisenau which accompanied the Scharnhorst and Prin Eugen.
