Historical note, suitable for use in schools.

Today is the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Jutland.

I confess, this would have gotten completely past me. Except Weaponsman has an excellent post up at his blog, keying off this Vimeo animation of the battle. (I haven’t had time to watch the latter yet, but it sounds right up my alley.)

Yes, this is sort of half-assed history, but Weaponsman writes much better than I do, so I’m really doing a public service here by pointing you his way.

(Not historical, but this is also a swell Weaponsman post, and the one that finally got me to add him to my blogroll.)

    Please make time to watch the Vimeo about the battle; it was fascinating, and I learned a great deal.
