English: Composite from 2 photos taken from HMS Lydiard of the 9th destroyer flotilla. Right photo HMS Queen Mary blowing up at the Battle of Jutland 1916. Queen Mary is surrounded by the explosion and smoke. Left photo is of HMS Lion, surrounded by waterspouts from enemy shots falling short.
Both photos being of about the same scale show the tremendous size of the explosion with the base of smoke being almost exactly the full length of HMS Queen Mary (700 ft)
