Battle of Jutland May 31 - June 1 1916

[CINDERS]

Thanks for the doco 30three;
They were scathing of Jellicoe going so far as to say "The only person who could have lost the British fleet (War) in a day" in all reality no body won but I am pleased that now his name is cleared nothing wrong with being prudent had he not turned away from those torpedos things may have been different.
The Germans launched 42 torpedos at the Jellicoe's ships in their death ride whence he turned away from them making the closing speed some 5 mph instead of staying the course and the closing speed between his ships and the torpedos being 40 mph.
The ships easily combed the torpedo's coming from the rear some very close shaves though none hit thankfully, far more difficult and harder if not impossible to comb them when coming from bow on.
