Warspite's perilous turn at Jutland

Warspite's uncontrolled turn before the High Seas Fleet became legendary because the battleship survived an episode that could easily have become infamous.

Notes

Warspite circled in view of the German battle line while shells fell around her. Survival transformed what would otherwise look like a disastrous loss of control into one of the ship's most celebrated moments. The outcome turned the same hazardous maneuver from potential infamy into fame.
