A co-worker just watched this "new" (?) animated video of the Battle of Jutland and recommended it to me. vimeo.com/162655850 A full account of the Battle of Jutland narrated by Admiral Jellicoe's grandson as part of the Jutland Centenary Commemorations. The 24 minute animation gives the viewer an overview of the major "chapters" of the battle – the opening battle cruiser action, the Grand Fleet deployment, the Turn Away and the Night Destroyer actions. Additionally the 1917 submarine campaign is explained as a consequence of Scheer's decision not to risk another Fleet-to-Fleet encounter. Graphics, animation, animated maps and contemporary photography illustrate key points. Jim |

A bit of a Jellicoe eulogy from the grandson, but well presented nevertheless. |

That was excellent – thanks for posting. Far better than most of the professional documentary channel outputs; nicely styled, clear, helpful graphics. Nick |

Yep it's a great view, will try and get permission to use it later in the year for the Jutland game at the Armouries. Regards Ken

Outstanding work. Really should be seen by anyone with any interest in "modern" naval combat, but the Dreadnought Era especially. TVAG |

A very fine, succinct presentation. |

Nicely illustrated by the animated maps. Provides a lot of the why's and why-not's of the battle. Two fins up! |
