Been watching a digital recording BBC4 freeview Scotlands war at sea . The WW1 battle of the North sea Jellicoe 1st Earl sea lord . Was able to cross the T without them knowing nautical term for setting your ships across there bows , he had 26 battle ships nose to tail in a 6 mile arch . The German navy sailed into it and they opened up . The German Navy then called for there dreadnoughts and Jellicoe slipped out of there sight . The North sea was left to the British navy. Its on again ( part 2 ) Monday 9pm . Grandad was on one of the battleships , but he never spoke a word of it.
