"München" underwent repairs at Vegesack and the Wilhelmshaven from 7 to 30 July. She was present for an inconclusive fleet advance on 18–19 August, where Scheer attempted once again to lure out part of the British fleet with a sweep toward the Dogger Bank. He broke off the operation after zeppelins reported the entire Grand Fleet at sea and returned to port. On 18–19 October, Scheer attempted a repeat of the original Jutland plan, which had called for a bombardment of Sunderland. It was to be "München"s final wartime operation. While en route at 09:40 on 19 October, "München" was hit by a torpedo launched by the submarine off the Dogger Bank. Scheer became convinced the British knew his location, and so he cancelled the operation and returned to port. "München" took on some of water, and saltwater got into her boilers, contaminating the freshwater used to produce steam. She had to be taken under tow, first by the torpedo boat , and then by her sister . By the following day, her engines were back in operation, and she steamed into the Jade Bight under her own power, where she entered the in Wilhelmshaven.
