I just realised that I am getting way off topic here, sorry for that!
So where are we with the status of submarine and aircraft raids upon Scapa flow and other points of interest? We know know that in OTL the Germans could and did hit SF without insurmountable difficulties due to range/long overwater flights, so the extra 6-12 months posited here will not be needed to make such small, and limited effect raids possible, but rather to make a much larger, and presumably repeatable series of raids possible, that in combination may whittle down the RN home fleet bit by bit, force their deployments to be less optimal, and thus opening up greater leeway for the hopelessly outgunned and outnumbered Kriegsmarine surface units to be able to function more effectively, and earlier, and longer, until they simply are so outproduced that they become irrelevant?
