The British Navy won at Jutland by losing more men and ships than the enemy. Tactically the battle was a draw. The British lost more than the Germans but the Germans were crippled enough they would not send a fleet into the North Sea. So basically today the battle would be called tactically a draw and a British strategic victory.

∙ 11y agoBecause of the German's chances winning a head to head battle being limited to 3 to 1, Hipper created a German plan to draw the British vanguard into the path of the High Seas Fleet. By the time Beatty sighted the larger force and turned back towards the British main fleet he had lost two battlecruisers from a force of six battlecruisers and four battleships, against the five ships commanded by Hipper. But remember, both sides had a great loss of life and both sides claimed victory. Fourteen British ships were sunk, and 11 German ships were sunk.

∙ 6y agoIt has always been a controversy as to who really won the Battle of Jutland. The British and Germans both suffered severe losses. Many people say the British won the Battle of Jutland because the Germans had initially wanted to push their fleet further out in the ocean, but the British had prevented the German fleet from doing so and they didn't gain anymore land (or, in this case, sea).

Should the Battle of Jutland be considered a British or German Victory?
BothIt was a tactical victory for Germany in terms of ships sunk and lives lost, but it was a strategic victory for Britain in that the Grand Fleet was still intact, and the German navy did not again seriously challenge its dominance of European waters Germany took more tonnage and lives at Jutland, but reading the account and been fair the Royal navy were not fully engaged in the battle and still arriving when it was under way.Having said that though i think it is a British victory as the Grand fleet of the Royal navy was still intact and the ones they lost were been replaced in British ship yards after, and the German navy were the first at Jutland to turn back to German shores and never venture out again in WW1, whilst the British continued blockading Germany right till the end therefore remaining the number 1 navy in the world.
