PLAN OF
JUTLAND BATTLE
BEFORE AND AFTER DEPLOYMENT
The position of our Battle Cruisers at 6.0. P.M. is fixed by a report
from the Marlborough and confirmed at 6.4. P.M. by a report from the
Rear-Admiral 1st Battle Squadron in the Colossus.
The position of the 5th Battle Squadron is fixed by a report from the
Marlborough at 6.5. P.M. taken in conjunction with the reports of the
Rear-Admiral 5th Battle Squadron.
The courses of our Battle Cruisers are taken from the report of the
Vice-Admiral Battle Cruiser Fleet and from the Lion and Indomitable.
The position of the Enemy Battle Cruisers at 6.7. P.M. is fixed by a
report from the Lion received at 6.6. P.M.; this gave the bearing; the
distance is obtained by a consideration of the ranges at which the Lion
was firing.
The position of the Enemy Battle Fleet is fixed at 6.14. P.M. from the
Lion and at 6.15. P.M. from the Barham; the latter being signalled
by wireless, an interval of four minutes being allowed between
transmission and receipt.
Subsequent movements of the Enemy Battle Cruisers are fixed by the
bearings on which our Battle Cruisers were firing and the ranges given,
and by a consideration of the German reports which show a 32 point turn
between 6.6. and 6.15. P.M.
Subsequent movements of the Enemy Battle Fleet are fixed by bearings
and ranges given by the Marlborough at 6.17. P.M., Iron Duke at 6.31.
P.M. and Monarch at 6.33. P.M.
The movements of the Defence, Warrior and Warspite are fixed by reports
and diagrams from the Warrior, Duke of Edinburgh and the Rear-Admiral
5th Battle Squadron.
_Note._--In studying this diagram it should be borne in mind that
only a few of the German ships were visible at a time due to the
smoke and mist.]
[Illustration:
_Diagram II._
DIAGRAM TO ILLUSTRATE THE SITUATION THAT MIGHT
HAVE ARISEN HAD THE BATTLE FLEET DEPLOYED ON
THE STARBOARD WING COLUMN.
It should be borne in mind that no information as to the position of
the Enemy Battle Fleet was received until 6.14. P.M., and that the
only reports received had been one at 6.6. P.M., giving a bearing of
the Enemy Battle Cruisers from the “Lion”, and a report at 5.50. P.M.
from the “Southampton” to the effect that the Enemy Battle Fleet bore
north-east from his Battle Cruisers (and were therefore presumably
ahead of them and right ahead of our Battle Fleet.)
There had therefore been no sufficient information on which to
re-dispose the guides of columns; deployment on the starboard wing
column to meet an enemy before the starboard beam would necessarily be
an awkward manoeuvre as it would involve a considerable alteration of
the starboard wing column to port and a very large alteration of course
of the remaining columns when coming into line astern of it.
A torpedo attack during deployment would under these conditions throw
the British Battle Fleet into great confusion and a concentration of
gunfire on the turning point would be very effective; our own gunfire,
owing to the large alterations of course and the consequent difficulty
of obtaining correct fire control data would be correspondingly
ineffective: our own destroyers had been spread ahead of the Battle
Fleet as a submarine screen until 6.8 P.M. and were moving across the
front in an unformed condition to the two flanks.
The movements that would probably have resulted and the number of ships
on each side in action are shown in the diagram for each 3-minute
interval from 6.16 to 6.28 P.M.
The three ships of the 5th. Battle Squadron would eventually have come
into line ahead of the 6th. division, but would possibly have masked
the fire of that division during the movement.]

Transcriber’s Notes
Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a
predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they
were not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation
marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left
unbalanced.

references.
Original text uses two forms of the following words; both retained here:
“moral” and “morale”
“underwater” and “under-water”
“minefield” and “mine-field”
