This Episode:
In this concluding episode, we discuss the aftermath and fall-out from the Battle of Jutland, including the debate over the actions of the British commanders of the Grand Fleet. Also included is discussion over whether British ship designs at the time were flawed, leading to increased casualties. We conclude by putting the role of the battleship in naval warfare, particularly after WWI, in context. (37min)

And a dreadnought-sized thanks to /u/thefourthmaninaboat for being such a wonderfully informative guest!
Thank you so much to /u/thefourthmaninaboat and the podcast team! I sat down this evening and listened to both Jutland podcasts this evening, and they were absolutely fascinating. I really appreciate the work you all put into it!
Hi! It would be awesome if the podcast was indexed in Overcast. Can you guys manage that, or should I talk to the app creator? I don't know how that works
I thought these two episodes gave the context of both sides' objectives and knowledge really well. Gives a lot more clarity to what otherwise would be a very puzzling engagement.
I have a question that's really about the previous episode, but I'm a little behind... /u/thefourthmaninabout casually mentions that one of the british ships was ten hours late sailing for the battle because it missed the signal. How exactly did that happen?
