Admiral Sir Reginald Hugh Spencer Bacon, KCB, KCVO, DSO (6 September 1863 ? 9 June 1947) was an officer in the Royal Navy noted for his technical abilities. According to Admiral of the Fleet Lord Fisher, twice First Sea Lord, he was at one time "acknowledged as the cleverest officer in the Navy". The Battle of Jutland was a naval battle between Britain's Royal Navy Grand Fleet, under Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, and the Imperial German Navy's High Seas Fleet, under Vice-Admiral Reinhard Scheer, during World War I. The battle unfolded in extensive manoeuvring and three main engagements from 31 May to 1 June 1916, off the North Sea coast of Denmark's Jutland Peninsula. It was the largest naval battle and only full-scale clash of battleships of the war, and the outcome ensured that the Royal Navy denied the German surface fleet access to the North Sea and the Atlantic for the remainder of the war, as Germany avoided all fleet-to-fleet contact thereafter. Jutland was also the last major naval battle, in any war, fought primarily by battleships. Ref NNN 2.
