Inspired by this thread above, if the Germans delay the departure of the dreadnoughts of Kaiser and Konig Albert and due to coaling or machinery issues, end up with the dreadnoughts [and a surviving East Asian Squadron plus merchant and auxiliary ship reinforcements] interned in American or Spanish ports, what will be the consequences? If everything goes as in o.t.l. until January 1917, how would unrestricted submarine warfare be affected, since they might lose the interned warships to confiscation?
