"The Battle of Jutland was notable in the history of naval warfare for several reasons. It was not only the most significant naval engagement fought by the Royal Navy since the close of the Napoleonic Wars a century before, but was also the only great naval battle of the First World War. There have been many histories written about the battle and it remains perennially interesting to students of naval warfare in the modern age." -- From Amazon.com.
