British Casualties at the Battle of Jutland
Published on 31 May 2008
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.
