What If, instead of (or perhaps later because of) being appointed as Supreme Commander of the Baltic he was appointed as Supreme Commander of the North Sea?
Just as a matter of interest in September 1914 the fleet that Prince Henry was supreme commander of was:
2 Pre-dreads: Elsass, Braunschweig
1 CA: Blucher
7 CL: Amazone, Augsburg, Lubeck, Madgeburg, Undine, Thetis, Gazelle
14 DD: S126-31, S120-24 & 125, V 25-6
The shore forces were:
1st Seaman Division at Kiel
1st Marine Artillery Division at Friedrichsort
1st Torpedo Division at Kiel
1st Battalion of Marines
This was the only accretion of power within the Imperial German Navy for the vast majority of WW1.
