At least it didn’t pass through Palmetto Ga, the Bermuda Triangle of the usps

I'm starting to think that packages don't actually got to Palmetto. Maybe they are just labeled as in Palmetto when they are lost or delayed. Hard to imagine that a facility can lose or delay virtually every package that goes there.

The battle of Jutland was the only major clash between the British Grand Fleet and the German High Seas Fleet during World War 1.

It occurred in the southern North Sea, off the coast of the Jutland Peninsula which gives its name to the battle.

While the British lost more ships than the Germans, it was the pivotal naval battle of the First World War.

Whilst the High Seas Fleet emerged twice more into the North Sea, there was no other major battle and the Royal Navy retained command of the sea, without which Germany could not win the war.

Both sides claimed victory. The British lost more ships and twice as many sailors but succeeded in containing the German fleet. The British press criticised the Grand Fleet's failure to force a decisive outcome, while Scheer's plan of destroying a substantial portion of the British fleet failed. The British long-term strategy of denying Germany access to the United Kingdom and Atlantic succeeded.
