    A civilian man in a dark blazer speaks at a wooden podium equipped with a microphone, while a U.S. Navy officer in tan uniform stands in the background smiling. The setting appears to be a military briefing room or facility, evidenced by a large world map on the wall and a unit insignia on the podium. The event appears to be an official address or press briefing at a naval installation.

    NEWPORT, R.I.
    (May 10, 2016)
    North Sturtevant, great grandson of Commodore Dudley W. Knox, addresses students, staff, faculty and guests during a wargame reenactment of the Battle of Jutland at U.S. Naval War College (NWC) in Newport, Rhode Island. The historical World War I naval battle was fought May 31, 1916, between the British Royal navy's Grand Fleet, under British Adm. Sir John Jellicoe, and Imperial German navy's High Seas Fleet, under German Vice Adm. Reinhard Scheer. The battle was later studied in great depth at NWC by Fleet Admirals Chester W. Nimitz, Ernest J. King and William F. Halsey, and helped shape U.S. Navy warships, tactics and doctrine in the years leading up to World War II. During the wargame reenactment, Rear Adm. P. Gardner Howe III, NWC president, commanded the German High Seas Fleet and retired Rear Adm. Samuel J. Cox, director, Naval History and Heritage Command, commanded the British Grand Fleet.
