When I saw jut was the Word of the Day, the Battle of Jutland came to mind. It was the last naval battle between great battleships. Who won is still hotly debated more than 100 years later. It has only been depicted in  one film in 1926. It ranks fifth in great naval disasters with 8,000 killed.

As often occurs, the Germans refer to this great sea battle as Skagerrakschlacht, the Battle of the Skagerrak (the strait between Denmark, Norway and Sweden that connects the North Sea to the Kattegat sea). Since the British and Allies won WW I, we refer this sea battle to its English name, which is a shame, because Skagerrakschlacht is such a beautiful word in a purely typographical sense.
