The intended outline of the Royal Navy's Annual Manoeuvres of 1912 were outlined in The Times in mid-July.[1][2]

The Blue Force, consisting of 26 battleships, 21 armoured and six protected cruisers under the command of Prince Louis of Battenberg would be the defending force. The Red Force, under George Callaghan, would be the attacking force and would consist of 15 battleships, ten armoured and three protected cruisers.
