British Grand Fleet
During World War I, the British Home Fleet was renamed the Grand Fleet. It was initially commanded by Admiral Sir John Jellicoe. He was later succeeded by the commander of the Grand Fleet battlecruisers Admiral Sir David Beatty.
The Grand Fleet only took part in one fleet action during the war, that indecisive Battle of Jutland. Jutland was a tactical loss for the British because more British ships were sunk than German, but a strategic win because the British fleet retained control of the North Sea.
