British Casualties at the Battle of Jutland
The Battle of Jutland, fought from May 31 to June 1, 1916, was the largest naval battle of World War I and the only time the British and German fleets of "dreadnought" battleships confronted each other. The outcome was tactically indecisive but a strategic victory for Britain, as the German High Seas Fleet remained confined to port for the rest of the war.
Below is a break-down of the British casualties incurred ship-by-ship.
