The HSF will probably need to retire back to Germany fairly soon for maintanence and repairs. They can bring a convoy back with them.But the Germans will need to maintain some form of naval presense out west. Spee's old PDN force can be a most annoying presence for the RN since it would need to maintain a superior force of PDNs to counter it reducing the number available for the GF. While it would be tempting to leave FSG in Ireland as well it will likely be needed if the HSF run into the GF on the way back home.
