Battle of Jutland (May 31-June 1, 1916) - Sleeping Sun

"On the afternoon of 31 May, 1916, the British fleet encountered the German fleet before the Germans had expected. By the time the British turned and fled towards the main fleet, they had lost two battlecruisers and the numerical advantage.

From 18:30 hours, as the sun was lowering on the western horizon, backlighting the British, until nightfall at about 20:30, the two huge fleets, totally 250 ships between them, were heavily engaged.

Fourteen British and eleven German ships were sunk with great losses of life. Both sides claimed victory; the British had lost more ships and many more sailors, but Scheer's plan of destroying Beatty's squadrons had also failed.

In light of this battle, the Germans would turn to Unrestricted Submarie Warfare."

If errors do appear within this video, I do apologize; there were limited photographs of many of the ships. There are many more not presented within this video. I also apologize, as this is the first time I have undertaken the task of tributing fourteen vessels lost in one encounter.

what a waste of good men,admiral beatty was partly to blame,going beyond communication limitations,basically sprinting off and doing hes own thing,gunnery discipline became lax whilst trying to out gun the enemy,hence the several huge explosions due to flash back caused by doors remaining open from the turret level,and as far down to the main magazine,some of our shells were as far as 2 miles over shot,emphasis on speed rather than accuracy undoubtedly cost many lives.Rest in peace.Amen.

@SpencerBenedict2nd Well! No vulgarities this time. That's a relief. Peace to you too.

[FRAGIORGIO1]

@SpencerBenedict2nd We can do without your vulgarity here. Moreover, I shall not permit you on my part to convert this into another diatribe spot against the Catholic Church as you have already done on at least 4 or 5 other sites. You are a hate troller. Leave those of us who love naval history alone and go atop a crag and shriek and howl. I have already answered you many times on those other spots, and I imagine you have been "blocked" from them. Get thee hence!

FRAGIORGIO1 FARTS, "Pope Pius XII saved over 800,000 Jews according to one Jewish researcher, but that's it"

>Are you referring to that one labor zionist Jew, trader-to-his-people, researcher?

Why do you continue spreading lies for the antichrist papacy FRAGIORGIO1? Why not admit the universal truth that Pope Pius XII, as Cardinal Pachelli help mentor his Fuerher to power, to carry out the papacy's Nazi heretic oven burning 20th century "Holy" Inquisition, dubbed "holocaust"?

@FRAGIORGIO1 Read about Jozef Rettinger

[FRAGIORGIO1]

@batalion666 Ratzinger is Not Rettinger, nor Polish, nor a Jew, but he is smart, Yes!

[FRAGIORGIO1]

@batalion666 You are saying that the Catholic Church is the "best friend of Jewish Mega power (that) they didn't stop any war" Is the Catholic Church of any weight in stopping an anti-Christian Hitler, a Lutheran Kaiser, a secular Clemenceau, an atheistic Stalin, a Protestant Britiish PM or US Presbyterian president such as Wilson from going to war??? That is so ridiculous as to be laughable (tautology). Pope Pius XII saved over 800,000 Jews according to one Jewish researcher, but that's it
