	HMS Courageous (50) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		HMS Courageous was a warship of the Royal Navy.
		Built as a "large light cruiser" during World War I, Courageous, her sister HMS Glorious, and half-sister HMS Furious, were the brainchildren of Admiral Lord Fisher, and were designed to be "light cruiser destroyers".
		Courageous could be distinguished from her sister Glorious by a shorter round-down on her flight deck at the stern, by a different type of mast, and the addition of a charthouse on the island.
