    With regard to Battle Cruisers at Jutland,they were not designed to fight in a major fleet battle against enemy Battleships and Battle Cruisers, their reason for being was in operations such as the battle of the Falklands where they had both the speed and firepower to destroy von Spee's inferior squadron. The other factor in the loss of the three Battle Cruisers at Jutland was the British practise of keeping all flash doors open and stowing ammunition in passageways etc to aid rapid firing.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
