Would seaplane tenders join the strike or a follow-up attack?
Short answerThey would more likely support the Grand Fleet with reconnaissance, then extend patrol and anti-submarine coverage into the Baltic.
NotesSeaplane tenders would accompany the Grand Fleet to provide reconnaissance and support. Their proposed role is separate from the carriers' concentrated attack on Wilhelmshaven. A later move into the Baltic could give them another patrol area. The suggested model resembles the North Sea's Spider's Web patrols, with aircraft searching for German submarines and patrol ships.
