Who won the Battle of Jutland?

The point that a lot of people do not realise about Britain losing control of the seas was not just the huge problem of submarine warfare against the cargo ships in the atlantic, but that Britain could not fight in the war at all.
Every single British Soldier who fought in France went across the English Channel. Millions of tons of munitions, weapons, ammunition, horses, vehicles, fuel, - you name it, if it came from Britain, it went over the channel. Now imagine the channel under control of German warships (including submarines, battleships, destroyers).

I get that their ships had the range to easily make the trip. What I mean is, did they have the logistics to maintain control of the waters around the UK, or even just the channel, or would they have been limited to the sort of raids they occasionally conducted earlier in the war—albeit perhaps more frequently and in greater strength? It’s a blue water-green water distinction that I’m getting after.

Consider this as a challenge posed to the notion that a lopsided German victory at Jutland might have lost the UK the war in an afternoon. That’s only true if Germany could have maintained enough of its fleet out to sea for long enough to make a difference.

I think this was the major disappointment for the British. Beatty (and his backers) were convinced Jellicoe had let victory slip through his grasp.

Admiral Fisher had a plan to land troops on the Pomeranian coast, even without defeat of the HSF. It was an option that was never seriously considered, but I suppose they could have tried it if the HSF had been neutralized.

However, it is not true that the HSF retreated to port and never sortied again. The HSF did come out a few more times during the war, notably in the Baltic but also in another attempt to pick off parts of GF escorting convoys to Scandinavia.

Churchill’s got some nerve talking about WW1 operations not going completey as expected.
