Context: <response>: Wen di war start, di French government order say make dem block North German coasts, wey di small North German navy (Norddeutsche Bundesmarine) wey get only five ironclads no fit do much to oppose. For most of di war, di three biggest German ironclads dey out of service sake of engine wahala; na only di turret ship SMS Arminius dey available to do operations. By di time wey dem finish repair di engines, di French fleet don already commot. Di blockade no too work well sake of some important mistakes wey di planners for Paris make. Reservists wey suppose dey ready for war, dey work for Newfoundland fisheries or for Scotland. Only part of di 470-ship French Navy sail on 24 July. Before long, di French navy run out of coal, wey dem need 200 short tons (180 t) per day and dem get only 250 short tons (230 t) bunker capacity for di fleet. Blockade of Wilhelmshaven fail and conflicting orders about operations for Baltic Sea or to return to France, make di French naval efforts useless. Seeing blockade-runner come dey unwelcome sake of di question of coal; chasing Prussian ships quick quick finish di coal wey dey for French ships.
