1830 31 May 1916. When Jellicoe enountered the German fleet, he had to decide how to deploy his battleships, without really knowing the composition of the German force or its direction. Deciding to deploy to port, he organized his main force into a line of battle that would lead to a "Crossing of the T", the dream of every admiral. However, the German fleet had one maneuver at its disposal that could defeat this tactic, the Gefechtskehrtwendung, or "battle turn-around".
