MV HUSKYAN

A survey of the Vanguard was conducted under MOD license by a team of volunteer professional divers in 2016-17 to record the condition of the ship, after 100 years underwater.  The full report* is downloadable from the link and gives an astonishingly detailed account with some stunning images.

BATTLE OF JUTLAND CREW LIST

HMS VANGUARD was a veteran of the Battle of Jutland within the 4th Battle Squadron of the Grand Fleet, under Admiral Sturdee.  The Jutland Crew List project is endeavouring to compile an accurate and definitive list of crew aboard all British ships that were part of this conflict on 31st May - 1st June 1916. 
Many of the VANGUARD crew that perished in the July 1917 explosion had served during Jutland, either aboard the dreadnought, or on other ships within the fleet.  You can find a definitive list of crew who served at Jutland on the link below.
