Nah, investing that much money in such a niche product would be totally paradox.

Context: Tsar Alexander II was a reformer, trying to improve Russia and get it on track...he was assassinated, and was succeeded by Alexander III...who was regressive...way to go guys...way to go

it's intended that way: accelerationism, bassicly if you're an unreasonable person then you want another unreasonable person on the other side because otherwise all the reasonable people on your side will prefer to compromise with the reasonable person on the other side rather then fight with you

you are giving way too much credit to the Nihilists, by implying they conceived of something akin to accelerationism.

Basically, the Germans hoped to ambush a bunch of British ships, trying to defeat the RN in detail
A handful of British ships got sunk, slightly fewer German ones got sunk...
Germans chickened out of further engagements for the rest of the war
All of the Battleship buildup proved for nought, as they didn't do much in the war, and became mostly outdated by WWII
Hell, the HMS Dreadnought didn't even sink a single ship (during the course of all of it's service...having only sunk one submarine...by ramming)

And let’s not forget that the Germans were actually the ones with better tactics and leadership in the battle - the RN just had so much of a numerical superiority in an unassailable position that they could overcome Beatty’s (and to a lesser extent Jellicoe’s) attempts to make them lose.

honestly the battle of jutland can be described as 2 rival gangs accidently passing each other in a traffic jam with them hurrying to get their guns at the ready as soon as they'd noticed
the biggest british losses came about because the crew on those ships had begun to jam open the safety doors in order to speed up operations (and thus ensuring a continious airstream from the surface to the ammunition chamber)

Seems to be a thing with battleships. Look at the Yamato as another great example. Outgunned everything but the Japanese were too afraid to lose their crown jewel.
Well, until they sent it to its death..

If you are mentioning Jellicoe in "trying to lose" category you should mention Scheer too, he went right into Grand Fleet's T twice over. Essentially Beatty was out-admiralled and that's very much his fault. The issue was magnified by poor ammo discipline in the BCF (not a feature shared by the Grand Fleet) that heavily contributed to every single one of their losses. That was Beatty's responsibility too. On the other hand German mistakes cost them less than they should have because British armour piercing shells were not as good as they could have been.
But if you were to simply swap the ammo discipline and propellants around between the two battlecruiser forces you might well have Germans taking higher casualties in the battle simply because of that. German battlecruisers suffered turret flash fires just like the British ones, the difference was that the fires didn't blow the whole ship up.
