The Battle of Jutland between the British and German fleets in 1916.

Historical background

On 31 May and 1 June 1916, the British Grand Fleet and German High Seas Fleet fought off the Danish coast. Their battlecruisers made contact first before the main battle fleets came into range.

The British suffered heavier losses, while the German fleet escaped to port. Britain retained command of the North Sea and continued its blockade. The battle remained the largest clash of the two fleets during the war.
