Roll the dice and be like Admiral Yi. We must try for a White Peace, defeat would cripple us and lose the next war. We need this war ended: Adjust our doctrine with that aim in mind. Our strategic goal: End the war, minimise losses in territory or restriction. Any means necessary to achieve this outcome is permitted.

The problem is that a bad battleship fight might get us slapped with an arms limitation right at the start of the dreadnought era, which would be crippling. I think policy will need to be fairly conservative, avoiding night fighting wherever possible and generally avoiding battle. The best outcome we can hope for is probably minor territorial concessions, we might have give up a colony to get out of this war though.

Every shot strike our greatest foe - the sea itself.

Okay so the Panama Canal is not open to belligerents, which means the Caribbean is a long trip.

I think it's based on tension, if your tension with the USA is too high, (>7 maybe?), they won't let you through when you're at war. The same applies to the UK and the Suez.

It's kind of a Japanese problem. The only other nation with significant base capacity in NE Asia is Russia, so if you're at war with anyone else you'll only be facing a little fleet and it won't fight your larger one. Equally, you can't support ships in Europe or the Med without an ally to give you bases, so you can't really attack most other nation's home waters.
