First World War.com - Battles - The Battle of Jutland, 1916 |
 | | Jutland had all the ingredients to be a great British naval victory, but in the event the result was much less clear-cut. |
 | | Finally, in the last phase of the battle, in a night of intense fighting, the retreat of the German battleships was covered by their lighter ships, while Jellicoe lost time after turning to avoid a potential torpedo attack. |
 | | Despite that, the battle disappointed in Britain, where news of a new Trafalgar had been expected, and the hard fought draw at Jutland was not appreciated until much later, while the Kaiser claimed a German victory. |
