II Battle Squadron

==Organization==
The II Battle Squadron was divided into the III Division and the IV Division; the divisions initially were composed of eight of the ten and s.〔Herwig, p. 45〕 At the time, was the flagship of the High Seas Fleet and was also assigned to the II Battle Squadron, though only for tactical purposes—the ship was not otherwise subordinate to the squadron commander.〔Staff, p. 8〕
The II Battle Squadron operated from one of the two primary bases of the German fleet. The first, in the North Sea, was Wilhelmshaven on the western side of the Jade Bight. The island of Heligoland provided a fortified forward position in the German Bight.〔Halpern, p. 10〕 The second major naval installation was at Kiel, and it was the most important base in the Baltic. Pillau and Danzig housed forward bases further east in the Baltic.〔Halpern, p. 182〕 The Kaiser Wilhelm Canal through Schleswig-Holstein connected the Baltic and North Seas and allowed the German Navy to quickly shift naval forces between the two seas.〔Halpern, p. 179〕
