		Second significant naval battle of the First World War, the first time heavy units of the British and German fleets came into direct contact.
		One of their ships had nearly been sunk after an explosion in the magazines, and it was realised that the problem was that too much explosive material had been taken from secure storage to the gun turrets, where it was vulnerable to any incoming shots.
		The Germans thus tightened up their ammunition handling, but the Royal Navy did not, and at the battle of Jutland lost several ships after flashes detonated the explosions.
