	Battle of Jutland
		Battle of Jutland also known by the Germans as the Battle of the Skagerrak (Skaggerakschlacht) occurred on 31 May - 1 June 1916, the first and the only fullscale battleship clash during WW I between the German High Seas Fleet (Hochseeflotte) and the British Grand Fleet.

		The battle is often regarded as demonstrating that the Royal Navy was technologically inferior to the German Navy.
