The Battle of Jutland between the United Kingdom’s Royal Navy Grand Fleet and the German Kaiser’s German Imperial Navy’s High Seas Fleet occurred on May 31, 1916. The commanders were Admiral Sir John Jellicoe and Vice-Admiral Reinhard Scheer, respectively. The battle lasted until June 1, 1916 and was broken into three phases or actions: the battlecruisers engagement, the fleet action, and the night action. The Battle of Jutland is one of the largest naval battles in history. It was very bloody and gory.
For more information on this large-scale battleship and battlecruiser naval clash look at the following website:

and Bing or Google “Battle of Jutland” for YouTube videos and other websites. I remember last year in the period June 12, 2019 and October 17, 2019, Merry Sue Bracken looked up the Battle of Jutland and Scapa Floe, Scotland base of the Royal Navy’s Grand Fleet for me numerous times. She expressed an interested in visiting the beautiful and desolate Scapa Floe (Flow in High English, not Scottish dialect of English). Once when I stated the great naval battle occurred in 1914 to Merry Sue Bracken and Matthew “Matt” Riding, Matt corrected the date to 1916.

My whole legal name is James Pate Williams, Jr. I was born in LaGrange, Georgia approximately 70 years ago. I barely graduated from LaGrange High School with low marks in June 1971. Later in June 1979, I graduated from LaGrange College with a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry with a little over a 3 out 4 Grade Point Average (GPA). In the Spring Quarter of 1978, I taught myself how to program a Texas Instruments desktop programmable calculator and in the Summer Quarter of 1978 I taught myself Dayton BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) on LaGrange College's Data General Eclipse minicomputer. I took courses in BASIC in the Fall Quarter of 1978 and FORTRAN IV (Formula Translator IV) in the Winter Quarter of 1979. Professor Kenneth Cooper, a genius poly-scientist taught me a course in the Intel 8085 microprocessor architecture and assembly and machine language. We would hand assemble our programs and insert the resulting machine code into our crude wooden box computer which was designed and built by Professor Cooper. From 1990 to 1994 I earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from LaGrange College. I had a 4 out of 4 GPA in the period 1990 to 1994. I took courses in C, COBOL, and Pascal during my BS work. After graduating from LaGrange College a second time in May 1994, I taught myself C++. In December 1995, I started using the Internet and taught myself client-server programming. I created a website in 1997 which had C and C# implementations of algorithms from the "Handbook of Applied Cryptography" by Alfred J. Menezes, et. al., and some other cryptography and number theory textbooks and treatises.
