How would a Russian admiral cooperate with Jellicoe?

Could the Russian Baltic Fleet cooperate effectively with Jellicoe despite national command sensitivities?

The Russian admiral could preserve formal equality by asking where Jellicoe wanted his force, turning orders into accepted suggestions under a well-understood multinational naval convention.

Formal rank and practical command need not produce the same arrangement. A Russian admiral would resist the appearance of taking direct orders from a foreign officer of equivalent status. He could still ask Jellicoe where his ships would be most useful and then act on the reply. Navies had used this diplomatic formula in multinational operations during and after the Napoleonic era, including wars against the Ottoman Empire. British officers could make the same gesture when joining a larger foreign force. One admiral could function as the battle's de facto commander without denying the other's sovereign commission. Phrasing and professional custom matter as much here as the written command chart.
