and the Imperial German Navy´s High Seas Fleet, under Vice-Admiral Reinhard Scheer, during the First World War. The battle unfolded in extensive manoeuvring and three main engagements (the battlecruiser action, the fleet action and the night action), from 31 May to 1 June 1916, off the North Sea coast of Denmark´s Jutland Peninsula.

Jutland was the last major battle in world history fought primarily by battleships." - (en.wikipedia.org 02.03.2020)
