The Grand Fleet was the main fleet of the British Royal Navy during the First World War. Based on Scapa Flow in the Orkney Islands and later at Rosyth on the Firth of Forth it only took part in one fleet action during the war -- the Battle of Jutland. Formed in August 1914 (from the First Fleet and elements of the Second Fleet of the Home Fleets), it included many state-of-the-art capital ships. It was initially commanded by Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, who was succeeded by Admiral Sir David Beatty in 1916. There are copies of the same item in Dutch, French and Portuguese.
