Here you go. Just click on the Battle of Jutland Gallery. :-)

Thanks Chuck. Those are quite the pictures. I was surprised how well
fed the crews seemed to be.
I have an excellent reference explaining the abundance of the crew's
diet, (my grandfather's journal that he kept during this period of
time).
See those depth charges exploding?
Every time they had to muster to stations to lob depth charges at
U-boats, (or suspected U-boats), the cook's helpers would appear on
deck with long handled nets. Each time a depth charge exploded, all
sorts of fish would come to the surface either freshly killed or too
stunned and confused to swim to safety. More U-boats? More fresh fish
for dinner!
