The other way to look at it; the Soviets lost more men at Stalingrad than the Germans, do we call it a German victory?
After Beatty's battlecruisers got mauled, as soon as the main fleet enegagement between the Grand Fleet and the High Fleet commenced, Jellicoe's superior tactical intuition and hundreds of years of Royal Navy seamanship kicked in, in that manoeuvre when he remodelled his battleship divisions into one, single long battle-line, an extraordinary display of seamanship and command, crossing Scheer's T not once but *twice*!
It's is precisely why at the end of the engagement the Germans were fleeing for home and the Grand Fleet held the field. Scheer realised he'd been out-admiraled and if there had been another fleet engagement next day it, would have been lights out for the High Sees Fleet.
On a tangential note, I have nothing but respect for Beatty commanding his BCs from the van, from an open 'fiying bridge'. Just meters in front of him the huge 13.5 inch guns would have been roaring, shell splinters and shell would have been talling all around him, and yet he was commanding from the open bridge deck as if in an 18th-century cavalry charge. What a man.
