| #5 The RN was much bigger and more experienced in naval warfare than the German, but suffered at Jutland from the above + poor to barely adequate damage control, weak armor in many vital spaces, and Navy-wide poor to obsolete ammo handling methods-systems. The over-confident Brits were shocked post-Jutland at how advanced or superior the Germans were in many key aspects compared to the contemporary RN. BRAVE SAILORS ALL. |

| #3 Seems that the British got much improved ships after Jutland because after the war when the British fleet was sent to supervise the suurendering of the German one the feeling on the German side was that their own ships were completely obsolete and no longer a match for the British. |

| #2 sloppy signalling, lack of initiative and bad luck Factors certainly not the exclusive domain of sailors. |
