What Happened At Jutland?

"In the 12 hours between 2.20pm on 31 May and 2.20am on 1 June 1916, the Royal Navy lost more than 100,000 tons of ships and almost 7,000 men to the guns of the German High Seas Fleet. Of these men, 4,200 ? and 90,000 tons of ships ? were lost due to explosions in their powder magazines. Within hours, three battlecruisers and one armoured cruiser had, without warning, quite literally disintegrated under German guns. One wag would comment that, at Jutland, the Royal Navy expended more propellant on itself as it did on the Germans.

"Admiral Sir David Beatty, who witnessed the debacle while himself leading a battlecruiser group, is reported to have said: 'There seems to be something wrong with our bloody ships today!' How right he was." more...
