A little known aspect of the Battle of Jutland is that the whole operation was a British trap which came close to succeeding. Specifically, having acquired the German codes and aware that the High Seas Fleet's dream was to face a portion of the British Grand Fleet with all of Germany's strength the British sent a contingent out to bait the trap and then sent the RN's entire strength to trap the trappers.
However, as soon as this was realized the High Seas Fleet correctly turned and ran back to port, never to present a challenge again.
What if it had been a complete success, with the back of the German navy broken in a single engagement, bearing in mind the reminder that Jellicoe was correctly described as the man who could lose the war in a single afternoon but, alas, could not win the war in such an engagement?
