Jutland is worth a look.


Agreed. I've always been really interested with late 19th and early 20th century capital ships. There's just something about them I've always found to be really cool. From the Naval engagements of the Spanish American War, the Great White Fleet, Russo-Japanese War, to Jutland. That time in naval warfare just seems really interesting.

Naval technology had progressed greatly from 1905 to 1916. That's why Jutland is truly unique. The battleships in 1916 were very powerful, so much more so than in 1905 that you have to place the two times in different eras.

44 powerful battleships fought at Jutland. No other naval battle in history can compare with that kind of tonnage and weight of shot, and with respect to those categories, Jutland remains the largest naval battle in history.
