Abstract

This paper presents the findings from surveys carried out in March 2016 of two wrecks sunk during the Battle of Jutland. The remains of HMS Indefatigable had previously only been partially understood. SMS V4, was found and surveyed for the first time. They represent the first and last ships sunk and allow the timings of the opening and closing of the battle to be established. In the case of HMS Indefatigable, the discovery that the ship broke in two, seemingly unnoticed, substantially revises the narrative of the opening minutes of the battle.

1916日德兰海战揭落幕战的再检讨:对英国皇家舰队“不倦号” (HMS Indefatigable) 及德意志皇家舰队“V4”鱼-艇 (SMS V4) 的考古调查

本文介绍了2016年对两艘日德兰海战沉船的调查结果。以往对英国皇家舰队“不倦号”遗存的了解仅停留在局部范围, 而德意志皇家舰队的“V4”鱼-艇则是首次被发现并得到调查及研究。它们分别代-了第一艘和最后一艘在日德兰海战中沉没的舰船。这-艘战舰可使我们确定战役的开局与结束的时间。此次发现英国皇家舰队“不倦号”实断为两截, 这是以前从未被注意到的, 其可在本质上更改对海战展开的最初几分钟的记述。

Revisión de las secuencias de apertura y cierre de la Batalla de Jutlandia 1916: investigación de los naufragios HMS Indefatigable (Infatigable) y SMS V4

Este artículo presenta los hallazgos de la prospección llevada a cabo en 2016 en dos naufragios hundidos durante la batalla de Jutlandia. Los restos del HMS Indefatigable solo habían sido parcialmente comprendidos previamente. El SMS V4 fue hallado e investigado por primera vez. Estos pecios representan el primero y el último barco que se hundieron y permiten establecer los ritmos de apertura y cierre de la batalla. En el caso del HMS Indefatigable, el descubrimiento de que la nave se partió en dos de manera aparentemente desapercibida, conduce a cuestionar sustancialmente la narrativa de los minutos de apertura de la batalla.
