[PAR] [TLE] Action of 19 August 1916 [SEP] The Action of 19 August 1916 was one of two attempts made by the German High Seas Fleet in 1916 to engage elements of the British Royal Navy, following the mixed results of the Battle of Jutland in World War I.  The lesson of Jutland for Germany had been the vital need for reconnaissance, to avoid the unexpected arrival of the British Grand Fleet during a raid.  On this occasion four Zeppelins were deployed to scout the North Sea between Scotland and Norway for signs of British ships and four more scouted immediately ahead of German ships.  Twenty-four German submarines participated off the English coast, in the southern North Sea and off the Dogger Bank. [PAR] [TLE] Dogger Bank [SEP] Dogger Bank (Dutch: "Doggersbank", German: "Doggerbank", Danish: "Doggerbanke") is a large sandbank in a shallow area of the North Sea about 100 km off the east coast of England.
