As the title suggests: Was it within the realm of possibility, more than merely some moderate losses and prestige hits that came close to happening IOT at Scarborough and Jutland, for Britain to be completely out-Britained by Imperial Germany and the Royal Navy be utterly defeated in the North Sea by the numerically inferior Kaiserliche Marine?
Needless to say it probably would have taken a German sea-faring Hannibal and a reverse Trafalgar or two to to pull this off, but crazier things have happened historically. Perhaps with just a bit more shrewdness on the part of the Germans and incompetence on the British side this would have been possible?
