The battle unfolded in extensive manoeuvring and three main engagements from 31 May to 1 June 1916, off the <a href="/wiki/North_Sea" title="North Sea">North Sea</a> coast of Denmark's <a href="/wiki/Jutland" title="Jutland">Jutland</a> Peninsula.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It was the largest naval battle and only full-scale clash of <a href="/wiki/Battleship" title="Battleship">battleships</a> of the war, and the outcome ensured that the Royal Navy denied the German surface fleet access to the North Sea and the Atlantic for the remainder of the war, as Germany avoided all fleet-to-fleet contact thereafter. Jutland was also the last major naval battle, in any war, fought primarily by battleships.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Germany's High Seas Fleet intended to lure out, trap, and destroy a portion of the British Grand Fleet, as the German naval force was insufficient to openly engage the British fleet. This was part of a larger strategy to break the British <a href="/wiki/Blockade_of_Germany_(1914%E2%80%931919)" title="Blockade of Germany (1914–1919)">blockade of Germany</a> and allow German naval vessels access to the Atlantic. Britain's Royal Navy pursued a strategy of engaging and destroying the High Seas Fleet, thereby keeping German naval forces contained and away from Britain and her <a href="/wiki/Sea_lines_of_communication" title="Sea lines of communication">shipping lanes</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Germans planned to use Vice-Admiral <a href="/wiki/Franz_von_Hipper" title="Franz von Hipper">Franz Hipper</a>'s fast scouting group of five modern <a href="/wiki/Battlecruiser" title="Battlecruiser">battlecruisers</a> to lure Vice-Admiral <a href="/wiki/David_Beatty,_1st_Earl_Beatty" title="David Beatty, 1st Earl Beatty">Sir David Beatty</a>'s battlecruiser squadrons into the path of the main German fleet. They stationed submarines across the likely routes of the British ships. However, the British learned from signal intercepts that a major fleet operation was likely, so on 30 May, Jellicoe sailed with the Grand Fleet to rendezvous with Beatty, passing over the German submarine <a href="/wiki/Picket_(military)" title="Picket (military)">picket lines</a> while they were unprepared. The German plan had been delayed, causing further problems for their submarines, which had reached the limit of their endurance at sea. </p><p>On the afternoon of 31 May, Beatty encountered Hipper's battlecruiser force before the Germans had expected. Hipper successfully drew the British <a href="/wiki/Vanguard" title="Vanguard">vanguard</a> into the path of the High Seas Fleet. By the time Beatty sighted the larger force and turned back towards the British main fleet, he had lost two battlecruisers, from a force of six battlecruisers and four battleships. Beatty's withdrawal at the sight of the High Seas Fleet, which the British had not known were in the open sea, reversed the battle by drawing the Germans towards the British Grand Fleet. Between 18:30, when the sun was lowering, back-lighting the German forces, and nightfall at 20:30, the two fleets—totalling 250 ships—directly engaged twice. Fourteen British and eleven German ships sank, with a total of 9,823 casualties. After sunset Jellicoe manoeuvred to cut the Germans off from their base, hoping to continue the battle the next morning, but under the cover of darkness Scheer broke through the British light forces forming the rearguard of the Grand Fleet and returned to port.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Both sides claimed victory. The British lost more ships and over twice as many sailors but succeeded in containing the German fleet. The British press criticised the Grand Fleet's failure to force a decisive outcome, while Scheer's plan of destroying a substantial portion of the British fleet failed. The British long-term strategy of denying Germany access to the United Kingdom and Atlantic succeeded.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Germans' "<a href="/wiki/Fleet_in_being" title="Fleet in being">fleet in being</a>" continued to pose a threat, requiring the British to keep their battleships concentrated in the North Sea, but the battle reinforced the German policy of avoiding all fleet-to-fleet contact.

This followed protests from neutral countries, notably the United States, that their nationals had been the victims of attacks. Germany agreed that future attacks would only take place in accord with internationally agreed prize rules, which required an attacker to give a warning and allow the crews of vessels time to escape, and not to attack neutral vessels at all. Scheer believed that it would not be possible to continue attacks on these terms, which took away the advantage of secret approach by submarines and left them vulnerable to even relatively small guns on the target ships. Instead, he set about deploying the submarine fleet against military vessels.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>It was hoped that, following a successful German submarine attack, fast British escorts, such as <a href="/wiki/Destroyer" title="Destroyer">destroyers</a>, would be tied down by anti-submarine operations. If the Germans could catch the British in the expected locations, good prospects were thought to exist of at least partially redressing the balance of forces between the fleets. "After the British sortied in response to the raiding attack force", the Royal Navy's centuries-old instincts for aggressive action could be exploited to draw its weakened units towards the main German fleet under Scheer. The hope was that Scheer would thus be able to ambush a section of the British fleet and destroy it.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Submarine_deployments">Submarine deployments</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Jutland&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Submarine deployments"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A plan was devised to station submarines offshore from British naval bases, and then stage some action that would draw out the British ships to the waiting submarines. The battlecruiser <a href="/wiki/SMS_Seydlitz" title="SMS Seydlitz">SMS <i>Seydlitz</i></a> had been damaged in a previous engagement, but was due to be repaired by mid-May, so an operation was scheduled for 17 May 1916. At the start of May, difficulties with condensers were discovered on ships of the third battleship squadron, so the operation was put back to 23 May. Ten submarines—<a href="/wiki/SM_U-24" title="SM U-24"><i>U-24</i></a>, <a href="/wiki/SM_U-32_(Germany)" title="SM U-32 (Germany)"><i>U-32</i></a>, <a href="/wiki/SM_U-43_(Germany)" title="SM U-43 (Germany)"><i>U-43</i></a>, <a href="/wiki/SM_U-44" title="SM U-44"><i>U-44</i></a>, <a href="/wiki/SM_UC-47" title="SM UC-47"><i>UC-47</i></a>, <a href="/wiki/SM_U-51" title="SM U-51"><i>U-51</i></a>, <a href="/wiki/SM_U-52" title="SM U-52"><i>U-52</i></a>, <a href="/wiki/SM_U-63_(Germany)" title="SM U-63 (Germany)"><i>U-63</i></a>, <a href="/wiki/SM_U-66" title="SM U-66"><i>U-66</i></a>, and <a href="/wiki/SM_U-70" title="SM U-70"><i>U-70</i></a>—were given orders first to patrol in the central <a href="/wiki/North_Sea" title="North Sea">North Sea</a> between 17 and 22 May, and then to take up waiting positions. <i>U-43</i> and <i>U-44</i> were stationed in the <a href="/wiki/Pentland_Firth" title="Pentland Firth">Pentland Firth</a>, which the Grand Fleet was likely to cross when leaving <a href="/wiki/Scapa_Flow" title="Scapa Flow">Scapa Flow</a>, while the remainder proceeded to the <a href="/wiki/Firth_of_Forth" title="Firth of Forth">Firth of Forth</a>, awaiting battlecruisers departing <a href="/wiki/Rosyth_Dockyard" title="Rosyth Dockyard">Rosyth</a>. Each boat had an allocated area, within which it could move around as necessary to avoid detection, but was instructed to keep within it. During the initial North Sea patrol the boats were instructed to sail only north–south so that any enemy who chanced to encounter one would believe it was departing or returning from operations on the west coast (which required them to pass around the north of Britain). Once at their final positions, the boats were under strict orders to avoid premature detection that might give away the operation. It was arranged that a coded signal would be transmitted to alert the submarines exactly when the operation commenced: "Take into account the enemy's forces may be putting to sea".<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Additionally, <i>UB-27</i> was sent out on 20 May with instructions to work its way into the Firth of Forth past <a href="/wiki/Isle_of_May" title="Isle of May">May Island</a>. <i>U-46</i> was ordered to patrol the coast of <a href="/wiki/Sunderland,_Tyne_and_Wear" class="mw-redirect" title="Sunderland, Tyne and Wear">Sunderland</a>, which had been chosen for the diversionary attack, but because of engine problems it was unable to leave port and <i>U-47</i> was diverted to this task.

The ambush submarines were now on station and experiencing difficulties of their own: visibility near the coast was frequently poor due to fog, and sea conditions were either so calm the slightest ripple, as from the periscope, could give away their position, or so rough as to make it very hard to keep the vessel at a steady depth. The British had become aware of unusual submarine activity, and had begun counter-patrols that forced the submarines out of position. <i>UB-27</i> passed <a href="/wiki/Bell_Rock_Lighthouse" title="Bell Rock Lighthouse">Bell Rock</a> on the night of 23 May on its way into the Firth of Forth as planned, but was halted by engine trouble.

As outlined by Captain <a href="/wiki/Reginald_Hall" title="Reginald Hall">Reginald Hall</a> in 1914, tactical doctrine called for a fleet approaching battle to be in a compact formation of parallel columns, allowing relatively easy manoeuvring, and giving shortened sight lines within the formation, which simplified the passing of the signals necessary for command and control.<sup id="cite_ref-gwpda.org_22-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-gwpda.org-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>A fleet formed in several short columns could change its heading faster than one formed in a single long column. Since most command signals were made with <a href="/wiki/Flag" title="Flag">flags</a> or <a href="/wiki/Aldis_lamp" class="mw-redirect" title="Aldis lamp">signal lamps</a> between ships, the flagship was usually placed at the head of the centre column so that its signals might be more easily seen by the many ships of the formation. Wireless telegraphy was in use, though security (radio direction finding), encryption, and the limitation of the radio sets made their extensive use more problematic. Command and control of such huge fleets remained difficult.<sup id="cite_ref-gwpda.org_22-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-gwpda.org-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Thus, it might take a very long time for a signal from the flagship to be relayed to the entire formation. It was usually necessary for a signal to be confirmed by each ship before it could be relayed to other ships, and an order for a fleet movement would have to be received and acknowledged by every ship before it could be executed. In a large single-column formation, a signal could take 10 minutes or more to be passed from one end of the line to the other, whereas in a formation of parallel columns, visibility across the diagonals was often better (and always shorter) than in a single long column, and the diagonals gave signal "redundancy", increasing the probability that a message would be quickly seen and correctly interpreted.<sup id="cite_ref-gwpda.org_22-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-gwpda.org-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>However, before battle was joined the heavy units of the fleet would, if possible, deploy into a single column. To form the battle line in the correct orientation relative to the enemy, the commanding admiral had to know the enemy fleet's distance, bearing, heading, and speed. It was the task of the scouting forces, consisting primarily of <a href="/wiki/Battlecruiser" title="Battlecruiser">battlecruisers</a> and <a href="/wiki/Cruiser" title="Cruiser">cruisers</a>, to find the enemy and report this information in sufficient time, and, if possible, to deny the enemy's scouting forces the opportunity of obtaining the equivalent information.<sup id="cite_ref-gwpda.org_22-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-gwpda.org-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p> Ideally, the battle line would cross the intended path of the enemy column so that the maximum number of guns could be brought to bear, while the enemy could fire only with the forward guns of the leading ships, a manoeuvre known as "<a href="/wiki/Crossing_the_T" title="Crossing the T">crossing the T</a>".

Battleships sacrificed speed for armour and heavy naval guns (11 in (280 mm) or larger). British battlecruisers sacrificed weight of armour for greater speed, while their German counterparts were armed with lighter guns and heavier armour. These weight savings allowed them to escape danger or catch other ships. Generally, the larger guns mounted on British ships allowed an engagement at greater range. In theory, a lightly armoured ship could stay out of range of a slower opponent while still scoring hits. The fast pace of development in the pre-war years meant that every few years, a new generation of ships rendered its predecessors obsolete. Thus, fairly young ships could still be obsolete compared with the newest ships, and fare badly in an engagement against them.<sup id="cite_ref-Castles666_25-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Castles666-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/John_Fisher,_1st_Baron_Fisher" title="John Fisher, 1st Baron Fisher">Admiral John Fisher</a>, responsible for reconstruction of the British fleet in the pre-war period, favoured large guns, oil fuel, and speed. <a href="/wiki/Alfred_von_Tirpitz" title="Alfred von Tirpitz">Admiral Tirpitz</a>, responsible for the German fleet, favoured ship survivability and chose to sacrifice some gun size for improved armour.

The British propellant was of two types, MK1 and MD. The Mark 1 cordite had a formula of 37% nitrocellulose, 58% nitroglycerine, and 5% petroleum jelly. It was a good propellant but burned hot and caused an erosion problem in gun barrels. The petroleum jelly served as both a lubricant and a stabiliser. Cordite MD was developed to reduce barrel wear, its formula being 65% nitrocellulose, 30% nitroglycerine, and 5% petroleum jelly. While cordite MD solved the gun-barrel erosion issue, it did nothing to improve its storage properties, which were poor. Cordite was very sensitive to variations of temperature, and acid propagation/cordite deterioration would take place at a very rapid rate.

The Germans used a 'ladder system', whereby an initial volley of three shots at different ranges was used, with the centre shot at the best-guess range.

Commanders failed to engage the enemy because they believed other, more senior officers must also be aware of the enemy nearby, and would have given orders to act if this was expected. Wireless, the most direct way to pass messages across the fleet (although it was being jammed by German ships), was avoided either for perceived reasons of not giving away the presence of ships or for fear of cluttering up the airwaves with unnecessary reports.<sup id="cite_ref-181" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-181"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>180<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Fleet_Standing_Orders">Fleet Standing Orders</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Jutland&action=edit&section=29" title="Edit section: Fleet Standing Orders"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Naval operations were governed by standing orders issued to all the ships.

The description stressed that this was not intended to be the only time commanders might take independent action, but was intended to make plain times when they definitely should. Similarly, instructions on what to do if the fleet was instructed to take evasive action against torpedoes were amended. Commanders were given discretion that if their part of the fleet was not under immediate attack, they should continue engaging the enemy rather than turning away with the rest of the fleet.
