Best Answer

Because the British Navy Battleships were UNABLE to regain contact with the German Fleet Battleships to engage them with their guns (they turned at least twice to avoid battle). The Germans sped back into friendly port(s). The Battleships (Dreadnaughts) had missed their opportunity for decisive battle; the main fight had been between "Battlecruisers" (Less Armored Warships). The only "Decisive" battleship fleet action ever fought was at Tsushima in May 1905. In that fight, the Russian Battleship Fleet did the complete opposite of what the German Battleship Fleet did at Jutland in 1916...the Russians charged directly into the Japanese Battleship Line; the Japanese Battleships crossed the Russian's "T".
