Description

The Grand Fleet 1914-1916 by John Rushworth Jellicoe A comprehensive account of the main fleet of the British Royal Navy during the First World War, this book explores the evolution and significance of the Grand Fleet. The actual strength of the fleet fluctuated throughout the war as new ships were added and others were lost, but it ultimately became a formidable force that played a crucial role in the conflict. The addition of US Battleship Division Nine to the Grand Fleet in 1917 marked an important turning point, with four dreadnought battleships initially joining before a fifth was later attached. The book provides insight into the experiences and leadership of Admiral John Rushworth Jellicoe, who commanded the fleet during the Battle of Jutland in May 1916. This detailed history offers a unique perspective on one of the most significant naval campaigns of the First World War, shedding light on the strategic decisions and tactical operations that shaped the outcome.
