The High Seas Fleet was another example of quantitative inferiority.

The Germans had better ships than the Grand Fleet, but not enough of ‘em. The Grand Fleet had a decisive advantage in numbers and weight of fire. Jellicoe almost had ‘em at Jutland, but Beatty let him down. The Germans kept trying to pull the Grand Fleet into a submarine or destroyer ambush to even the odds, but never quite succeeded.
