I think the term "great" in this particular reference, (I'll have to dig up the book, I have it somewhere in here with all my other naval history) was talking about the entirety of Leyte Gulf maybe. But, that makes sense now, Jutland being the last great surface clash with the advent of the carrier and 360 degrees of naval warfare in WWII.
