 Battle of Jutland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Jutland, known in Germany as the Battle of the Skagerrak (Skagerrakschlacht), was the largest naval battle of World War I, and the only full-scale clash of battleships in that war.
It was fought on 31 May–1 June 1916, in the North Sea near Jutland, the mainland of Denmark.
But at Jutland they were not used in this fashion — and indeed, British fire control was not sufficiently developed to permit them to be so used — but instead closed recklessly with enemy battleships while lacking the armour to stand up to the pounding they received.

 The Rules of the Game Jutland and British Naval Command by Andrew Gordon
The enormity of the drama embodied in the moment the fleets met at Jutland is for the first time matched by an author's ability to depict a context rich enough to help us understand the influences which fed this cataclysmic misfire of naval strength.
While the author draws his propositions from an excruciatingly detailed study of the Battle of Jutland and the British naval cultures in conflict before and after Jutland, this book is not, at root, about a specific battle, but rather about the constantly forgotten "first principles" of training, equipping, and organizing forces for combat.
The descriptions of Jutland are worth the price of admission alone, but its real value lies in its disection of the mindset of those Victorian naval officers who shaped the Royal Navy during its period of greatest transition.

That is part of the fun!lt;pgt;As to Jutland, one may award the victory according to his personal judgment.
There is little or no mention of significant damage to British dreadnoughts, including the seven hits on HMS Malaya, the six hits on HMS Barham and the torpedo hit on HMS Marlborough (all three of which had close calls with sinking).
On the other hand, damage to German ships is sometimes exaggerated; such as when the author claims that three German pre-dreadnoughts were hit when in fact, two were hit by one shell each (minor damage) and the third suffered one sailor killed from a shell splinter.
