A more successful Jutland could leave Britain with a much larger margin in capital ships at the same time that new Royal Navy vessels are still completing. This might make a Baltic operation and a faster German political crisis more plausible, especially if a changed Dardanelles situation keeps Russia supplied.

The number and condition of German survivors governs every later choice, so these outcomes remain possibilities rather than fixed predictions.
