Battle of Jutland

Battle of Jutland - The Navy's Bloodiest Day

If you have a spare hour, well worth a watch.

Firing 15" Shells weighing 1938lbs (The weight of a small car) at 2458 fps using 432 Lbs of Cordite.

So many life's lost in such a small time.

A good time to remember young Jack Cornwell, at 16 the 3rd youngest person ever to be awarded the Victoria Cross for gallantry in the face of the enemy. :flag13:
