This book is a biography of the author's life while serving in the British navy. One of the highlights that he included were his participation in the Battle of Jutland, which was a naval battle fought between Britain's Royal Navy Grand Fleet, under Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, and the Imperial German Navy's High Seas Fleet, under Vice-Admiral Reinhard Scheer, during the World War I. The battle unfolded in extensive maneuvering and three main engagements (the battlecruiser action, the fleet action and the night action) off the North Sea coast of Denmark's Jutland Peninsula. It was the largest naval battle and the only full-scale clash of battleships in World War I.
