Battle of Jutland Order of Battle

HMS Iron Duke at Scapa Flow. Jellicoe's flagship at Jutland saw the reintroduction of a 6in secondary battery into British capital ships.  This was in response to the increasing range and power of torpedoes which made the previous 4in secondary guns inadequate for defence against torpedo craft.

HMS Engadine became the first carrier to take part in a fleet action.  She launched and recovered a Short 184 seaplane. The plane sighted German ships and was fired upon by them but was unable to radio a report with the primitive equipment then in use.  Later she took the crippled Warrior in tow and saved 600 of her crew when she finally sank.  She was originally a cross channel steamer but was converted to carry four seaplanes in 1914.

SMS Hessen was the oldest Battleship to take part in Jutland.  She was a Pre-Dreadnought and with the Deutschland class were known as the "Five minute ships", reflecting their expected life expectancy against modern Dreadnoughts.  They had the added effect of reducing the speed of the German battle line to 18kts.
