Ouch.

As the Brit player, you should try hard to avoid capital ship engagements in bad weather or at night. The main Brit advantages are numbers, bigger guns with longer range, and a higher overall fleet speed. You should attempt to use your higher fleet speed to stay at a range where you can shoot but the Germans can't, and pound the HSF with 13.5" and 15" shells. Save the 12" ships for finishing off any cripples the Germans leave behind, until, over the course of time, you have whittled the Germans down considerably.
