See his entry in the Oxford DNB, in which 'deep professional commitment and mental toughness' are said to be qualities whose possession he demonstrated 'heroically'. Beatty's aggressive tactics at the Battle of Jutland are often contrasted with Jellicoe's more cautious approach. After the explosion of the Indefatigable and the Queen Mary, with the loss of 1283 officers and men, he came out with the celebrated understatement, 'There seems to be something wrong with our bloody ships today'. The present item is in good condition, lightly aged, and laid down on a leaf removed from an autograph album. It is a 9.5 x 5 cm piece of paper, cut from the base of a form, with Beatty signing in red on the top line, and the following two lines written out by him in blue: 'David Beatty / Rear-Admiral / 21 June 1913.' Printed in small type at the foot: '[2726] 20002/P501 100 9/12va G & S 2032'. See image.

Reprinting a speech thanking the US Atlantic Fleet 'again, again, and again for the great part the Sixth Battle Squadron has played in bringing about the greatest naval victory in history'. The speech is preceded by the following: 'Admiral Sir David Beatty, Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Fleet, delivered the following address on board the U.S.S. "New York" on 1 December, before the detachment of the American Sixth Battle Squadron from the Grand Fleet'. Beatty states that he has 'received messages from several people offering sympathy to the Grand Fleet' that it was 'unable to strike their blow for the freedom of the world': 'I had always certain misgivings, and when the Sixth Battle Squadron became part of the Grand Fleet, those misgivings were doubly strengthened, and I knew they would throw up their hands. Apparently, the Sixth Battle Squadron was the straw that broke the camel's back.' Regarding the Americans and the North Sea he says: 'This is a queer place, as you found [] but I can say that those of you whom I have seen during the last twelve months seem to have improved in many ways, if it is possible, and I think the North Sea has a health-giving quality which must be put against all the bad points, of which it has so many.' There are a few references to his host Admiral Rodman.
