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.

Re: Battle of Jutland
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.
