Action of 5 November 1916
The Action of 5 November 1916 was a naval engagement of the First World War. The action was fought between a Royal Navy submarine and a dreadnought squadron of the Imperial German Navy. This action took place in the months after the Battle of Jutland and is significant in that it signalled a major shift in German naval policy.
==Background==
On 2 November 1916, the German U-boat suffered a mechanical failure while patrolling off the Norwegian coast. She sent a distress signal which was answered by , which was returning from patrol northabout from Ireland. They met and both U-boats started for the Danish coast, where they were to be met off the Bovsberg Light. The British meanwhile had intercepted this wireless traffic, and dispatched a destroyer force to intercept them, but were unsuccessful.
However, on 4 November, both U-boats went aground in evening fog. Concerned that the Danes would intern the two U-boats—or that the British would find them—and mindful of the reputation of ''U-20'' and her skipper as being responsible for the sinking of the ocean liner , Admiral Scheer—the commander of the High Seas Fleet—dispatched a salvage group, with a cover force, comprising destroyers of the 4th Half-Flotilla, with the battlecruiser . These were followed by the four dreadnoughts of 3rd Battle Squadron; , , and . This move was also detected by the British, who alerted the submarine , which was on patrol in the area.
On the evening of 5 November, ''J1'' encountered the Battle squadron and was able to attack.
