Overview

This book highlights the classic duel between British and German battleships, then commonly known as dreadnoughts, at the battle of Jutland. Detailing the revolutionary introduction of the British ship Dreadnought in 1906, this volume offers an insight into the key developments of naval firepower, protection and propulsion, which irrevocably altered the future of naval warfare throughout the early years of the 20th century. Exacerbated by the worsening relationship between Britain and Germany, each navy was spurred on to new heights of excellence, until the outbreak of war meant that they would finally be tested in battle. With an hour-by-hour account of the battle itself, this book offers invaluable insight into how each side performed, together with detailed analysis of the rival gunnery and the opposing strengths or weakness of the opposing designs.
