Jutland

Main article

Conqueror was under the command of Tothill. She reported requiring 16 A.P. shells and 40 common shells after the battle, perhaps indicating her expenditure.[3]

The ship was one of very few which actually forwarded its Dreyer table plot sheets (to vice-Admiral commanding Second Battle Squadron on 2nd October, 1916) for the daylight action, though this may have been somewhat academic, as Tothill's cover letter stated "Very few ranges were taken. Remarks outside of plot are those passed from Foretop to Transmitting Station."[4]
