In the end, the German First Fast Fleet was heavily defeated, losing one battlecruiser, two cruisers, and four destroyers.
The battleship "Luzov" managed to return safely.
It was saved because a cruiser rushed up at high speed at the last moment to block a torpedo for it.

This left Major General Kavis seething with rage.
The most grievous loss for the German Army was the precious battlecruiser.
