According to Scheer, the German naval strategy should be: to damage the English fleet by offensive raids against the naval forces engaged in watching and blockading the German Bight, as well as by mine-laying on the British coast and submarine attack, whenever possible.
Segundo Scheer, a estratexia naval alemá debería ser "danar a frota inglesa a través de incursións ofensivas contra as forzas navais que participan na observación e bloqueo da baía alemá, ademais da colocación de minas na costa británica e ataques submarinos, sempre que sexa posible.
