Excerpt from The Story of the British Navy The sea affair of 1914-18 was an eye-opener in many ways. At Jutland the tactics of enemy destroyers rendered it necessary for the British Fleet to make alterations of course, involving loss of range and the escape of the Germans to their home ports. On the other hand, one battleship, the Marlborough, which remained in line, alone was hit by a torpedo. Only a dozen torpedoes in all were fired by British capital ships and battle-cruisers. The fight proved the superiority of gunfire over every other method of destruction. During the whole of the war only one British battleship, the Audacious, was sunk by a mine.
