The Battle of Jutland was a naval battle fought by the British Royal Navy's
Grand Fleet under Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, against the Imperial German
Navy's High Seas Fleet under Vice-Admiral Reinhard Scheer during the First
World War. The battle was fought from 31 May to 1 June 1916 in the North
Sea, near the coast of Denmark's Jutland Peninsula. It was the largest
naval battle and the only full-scale clash of battleships in the war. It
was the third fleet action between steel battleships, following the smaller
but more decisive battles of the Yellow Sea (1904) and Tsushima (1905)
during the Russo-Japanese War.
