"Battle of Jutland // The Skaggerak" - Papers (English)
Bennett, Captain Geoffrey The Harper Papers - Fresh Light on the
Jutland Controversy in
The Quarterly Review, January 1965 (published by John Murray, London)
(courtesy of Steve McLaughlin).
Brown, David K. HMS Invincible - the explosion at Jutland
and its relevance to HMS Hood in
Warship International, Number 4, 2003 (Volume 40, Number 4)
DK Brown explains how the explosion in Invincible's amidships magazines
blew forward through the hull in a similar fashion to that which sank Hood.
Brown, David K. Torpedoes at Jutland, in
Warship World, Volume 5, Number 2 (Spring 1995).
A fascinating piece that discusses both German and British torpedo tactics, and where
they went wrong during the battle.
Ejstrud, Bo A Near Miss: Heavy Gun Efficiency at Jutland in
Warship International, Volume 41, Issue 2.
A statistical look at the hitting rates of the heavy guns at Jutland.
Halpern, Paul Jutland - A Battle in One Dimension, in
USNI Proceedings, June 2006.
A nice little summary of the battle, by a noted naval historian, showing how the Battle remains relevant
for today's naval officer.
Hines, Jason Sins of Omission and Commission: A Reassessment
of the Role of Intelligence in the Battle of Jutland, in
The Journal of Military History, October 2008.
A very useful look at how the Admiralty handled their intelligence windfall- their emphasis being
the security of the system, and not its use by operational commanders.
Lambert, Nicholas A. "Our Bloody Ships" or "Our Bloody System"?
Jutland and the Loss of the Battle Cruisers, 1916 in
The Journal of Military History, 62 (January, 1998)
This is an extremely important paper, which very convincingly
shows that three battlecruisers may have been lost because of
extra quantities of ammunition piled up in ammunition handling
spaces!
Lyle, Colin Jutland, or a Second 'Glorious First of June' in
The Mariner's Mirror, Volume 82 (1996), number 2.
McCartney, Innes In Search of Jutland's Wrecks in
Dive, March 2002.
A short photo essay, including pictures of the wreckage, in the British diving magazine.
Mead, Commander Hilary P. Jutland Signals, in

Jutland Dinner in H. M. S. Warrior on 25 May 1978 in
The Mariner's Mirror, Volume 66 1980, Number 2.
Schleihauf, William What Happened to the Campania?, in
The Mariner's Mirror, Volume 90 2004, Number 4.
Why wasn't HMS Campania at the Battle of Jutland?
Slessor, John Admiralty Command Policy in Two World Wars:
Reflections Based on Arthur Marder's Story of Jutland in
Jordan, Gerald (editor)
Naval Warfare in the Twentieth Century
Croom Helm, 1977.
True, Lt-Cmdr Arnold E.. USN The Effects of Meteorological
Conditions on Tactical Operations at Jutland
in
Proceedings(journal of the United States Naval Institute),
Vol 66 Number 443, January 1940.
Well worth reading (and searching for) - not only is there a
sensible description of the weather conditions (and the causes)
during the battle, but the author points out ...it is significant
that not one of the officers who exercised tactical command at the
Battle of Jutland has recorded that he gave any consideration to
weather in making his early tactical plans.
Williams, M. W. The Loss of HMS QUEEN MARY
at Jutland in
McLean, David and Preston, John(editors)
WARSHIP 1996
Conway Maritime Press, 1996.
