A different Dardanelles campaign could make Queen Elizabeth available in home waters for Jutland. Joining the Fifth Battle Squadron would give it five ships armed with 15-inch guns. Alternatively, Jellicoe could use her as his flagship while keeping the other four Queen Elizabeth-class battleships together as a complete squadron. Queen Elizabeth was already equipped for flagship service, making either assignment a plausible consequence of her availability.
