What was initially wrong with Beatty's ships at Jutland?
They were too slow
Their guns jammed
They exploded
They ran aground
Answer
Beatty's ships were initially disadvantaged at the Battle of Jutland due to a design flaw that caused their ammunition to explode prematurely when the guns overheated. This issue, known as the "QFC Problem", resulted in several British ships suffering catastrophic explosions and fires, reducing their combat effectiveness and contributing to the heavy losses sustained by the Royal Navy during the early stages of the battle.
