Exactly. I don't think the Royal Navy had planned to use its destroyer force getting troops away from Dunkirk rather than fighting the Kriegsmarine but it's what the war situation demanded, so they did it.

On Ruy's point, how about using the Battle force in the Nachtschlacht role against the German supply routes into France?
