Jutland with 1941 British night-fighting capability

Far fewer German ships would return to Wilhelmshaven, leaving no plausible claim of a German victory.

Question

What happens at Jutland if the Royal Navy has its 1941 night-fighting doctrine, training, and equipment?

Short answer

Far fewer German ships would return to Wilhelmshaven, leaving no plausible claim of a German victory.

Notes

The counterfactual changes British night-fighting capability while retaining the Jutland setting. The answer expects the German fleet to suffer much more heavily during its return. It does not assign a number of losses, but rejects the possibility of presenting the resulting battle as a German victory.
