  1. 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.
