  1. German fleet was not the deterrent. The British fleet was. Geostrategically the British (and the rest of the Entente) got the Central Powers bottled up and cut off from foreign imports. Whether the High Seas fleet got itself sunk in a major engagement or stayed in port as a fleet in being only matters for the morale. In all other practical terms Germany is losing the war and the time is working against her. Unless of course they somehow manage to draw the USA to enter the war on their side which was not a realistic proposal due to economic ties between UK and US and UK essentially buying the US entry to the war by taking massive loans and buying out practically all US cargoes bound for Germany and neighboring neutral countries such as the Netherlands
