The Battle of Jutland Jutland saw combat between 44 dreadnoughts, 20 battlecruisers and pre-dreadnoughts and nearly 200 other surface combatants. Meanwhile, Surigao Strait saw combat between 8 battleships, 51 other warships and a bunch of PT boats; it was really more of a one-sided slaughter than a battle too. The latter action is the last battle between battleships, but which of them is the last 'great battleship battle' depends on what your definition of a 'great battle' is.
