	HMS Audacious (1912) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		HMS Audacious was a King George V class battleship of the Royal Navy.
		The Royal Navy tried to keep the loss a secret, officially listing the ship as in service during the entire war, but this proved to be a futile attempt, due to the fact that many American passengers on the Olympic had witnessed and photographed the sinking.
		Note that HMS Marlborough, of the subsequent (and fairly similar) Iron Duke class, was torpedoed at Jutland and for a time continued to steam at 17 knots.
