	HMS Invincible
		The HMS Invincible class of aircraft carriers were designed to replace the early post-war aircraft carriers that were HMS Ark Royal and HMS Hermes.
		As the carriers were coming into service during the early eighties (HMS Invincible, the first of class, saw action in the Falklands) there were worries about whether Britain would be able to continue its role as a balanced Navy, rather than the ASW wing of NATO.
		The role of the carriers, HMS Hermes and HMS Invincible, was crucial at this and subsequent stages in providing air defence and the means of attacking enemy ships and ground positions, while their helicopters provided constant anti-submarine protection.

		At Jutland in May 1915, three battlecruisers (including HMS Invincible) were lost when large caliber shells apparently penetrated their magazines.
