Britain brought 28 dreadnoughts, nine battlecruisers, eight armoured cruisers, 26 light cruisers, and 79 destroyers to Jutland. Germany brought 16 dreadnoughts, six pre-dreadnoughts, five battlecruisers, 11 light cruisers, and 61 destroyers. Their estimated broadside weights were about 151 tons and 61 tons respectively, giving Britain roughly two and a half times the weight of fire. British shell defects and battlecruiser vulnerabilities still mattered, so superior numbers could not guarantee a clean result. Better command and information would help Britain use the material advantage it already possessed.

The material advantage Britain brought to Jutland
The Grand Fleet's numerical advantage in capital ships, cruisers, destroyers, and broadside weight frames why better coordination could have made the battle far more damaging to Germany.
