Continued control of the sea supported Britain's view of Jutland as a victory despite an unsatisfying tactical result. The fleets' contrasting ability to resume operations provides another measure of that result. Beatty's failure to pass information up the chain of command is one proposed explanation for missed opportunities during the battle. Rutland's aircraft radio failure provides a separate example of information failing to reach those who needed it. Both could have changed the battle without altering the distinction between tactical disappointment and strategic control.
