Oh, those recalcitrant Jutlanders! They got what was coming to them. I guess. Did they lose?

The Battle of Jutland is one of those things where, almost 100 years later, people are still bickering as to who exactly won/benefited ;p

Ohh, *that* battle of Jutland. Now that I know what it is, I recall thinking that one went to the Germans.

I haven't looked at any of my old notes on it yet, but I remember thinking that one side was tactically more sucessful, but the other side's strategy was more successful. Both sides claim it as a win, anyway :V

The synopsis I remember from school was that both navies scared the hell out of each other in a messy, inconclusive battle, and then avoided large-scale open naval warfare for the rest of the war. The winners, if any, were actually the sailors on either side.
