- The British Grand Fleet steamed eastwards across the North Sea in two groups - the battlecruiser fleet commanded by Admiral Sir David Beatty from its base in Rosyth, and the main battle fleet under Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, from its base at Scapa Flow. The German High Seas Fleet moved northwards from Wilhelmshaven in a similar formation, with Admiral Franz Hipper’s faster battlecruisers steaming ahead of the main battle fleet under Admiral Reinhard Scheer. By early morning of 31st May 1916, the British and German fleets were on a collision course but incredibly, neither knew that the other was at sea. Scheer was unaware that his signals were being intercepted, whilst Jellicoe and Beatty were mistakenly informed by the Admiralty at midday that Scheer was still in harbour at Wilhelmshaven. Consequently, when visual contact was made by the advance battlecruisers of Beatty and Hipper at 14.40, this came as a surprise to both sides.
- It included seventeen modern dreadnoughts , five battle cruisers , twenty-five cruisers and twenty pre-dreadnought battleships as well as over forty submarines
- Beatty sights Hipper's leading battlecruisers. Hipper turns towards the South East, hoping to lure Beatty in the direction of Scheer's main battle fleet which is 50 miles to the South and rapidly closing. At this point, Scheer and Hipper must have thought that their plan of detaching Beatty from the British Grand Fleet was working.
