Description
Ok, just a badly created, badly drawn and badly scanned joke about the Battle of Jutland.

The 31st May of 1916 the Grand Fleet of the English Royal Navy and the Hochseeflotte of the German Kaiserliche Marine met in the greatest steel battleships sea battle of all time. Although a tactical victory for the Germans, it didn't change the strategic dire situation of Germany.
The battle opened with the battlecruiser action, in which the fast but lighter-than-battleships armored battlecruisers spilled first blood. The British warships were faster and better armed, but their mediocre armor proved to be a serious blunder against the shells from the enemy battlecruisers. Within minutes, HMS Indefatigable and HMS Queen Mary were hit and blew up for cordite ignition, and for a while it looked like HMS Princess Royal, too, had exploded. Just then, the British admiral, the bombastic but not too much of a military genius à la Nelson Vice-Admiral D. Beatty, said to his Flag Captain : "There is something wrong with our bloody ships today!".

I think it was the understatement of the year, so I made this. Beatty is the one with the angled cap (he was such an egotistic git he had to appear flashy and flamboyant).
I know it's bad humour, and that it's bad spelled too (sorry, but I'm Italian, and sometimes my pen is faster than my brain, too), but I quite frankly don't care!
