HMS Caroline – The Last Survivor of Jutland

If you ask someone about the Battle of Jutland, they'll probably tell you about the battlecruisers. For better or worse, that's what people remember. Maybe Warspite or the German Pre-Dreadnoughts in the night. The lighter forces? Often overlooked.

Despite one of those lighter ships, HMS Caroline, being the last survivor of that battle. Her story isn't the most exciting. In fact, it's easy to argue Caroline only survived to the modern day by a twist of fate. By good fortune.

Nonetheless, I think she's worth looking at. Both as the last survivor of Jutland, and the last of an extinct breed of ship. COL Randall C.
