Comments
Q&A: At Jutland on the first day, as Admiral Hipper and Admiral Beatty tried find optimal range for their battlecruisers to initiate firing their big guns, the British had terribly overestimated the range to Hippers ships, thereby squandering their opportunities to engage with their larger guns early. What was the source of this overestimated range? How is this possible? Was it a single point of failure? Don't tell me it was the Lion's flag officer. Were there additional occurrences of this basic error?
