Earlier warning could bring Jellicoe south faster, while Fuso, the Queen Elizabeths, the Kongos, destroyers, and battlecruisers create more ways to trap or hammer the German fleet. Scheer may break off before the full battle develops. If the German fleet remains engaged, catastrophic German losses become plausible and Jutland could be remembered as a decisive Allied victory. Fresh Queen Elizabeths in Jellicoe's battle line and a fast wing able to threaten the German retreat make force disposition as important as the five additional Japanese capital ships.
