Comment

The Battle of Jutland was the largest naval battle of the First World War, and probably one of the most complex in history. For two days in May-June 1916, it pitted the British Royal Navy against the Kaiserliche Marine in the North Sea, 200 km northwest of the Danish Jutland peninsula. (Source : www.wikipedia.org)
