	HMS Invincible: The Dread came to nought
		Invincible was complemented by a succession of battle cruisers on similar principles: Indefatigable, Australia, New Zealand, Malaya (the last three funded by the respective dominions in an effort to ease the strain on Naval Estimates), then Lion, Tiger, Queen Mary and Princess Royal.
		The first mission on which Invincible, Inflexible and Indomitable were sent was to revenge the latter indignity; at the Battle of the Falkland Islands, commanded by Admiral Doveton Sturdee, they enjoyed the advantage of range and power, and obliterated their opponents.
		Invincible was largely forgotten; Players reassigned its smoking sailor to Excellent, the shore-based gunnery school that was perforce unsinkable, out of deference to the bereaved.

	Battlecruiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The launch of HMS Invincible made all armoured cruisers afloat obsolete at a stroke, so it was inevitable that Britain's naval rivals would respond by building battlecruisers of their own.
		For instance in the case of HMS Hood, the addition of armour was difficult due to structural considerations, and the completed Renown and Repulse did not or were unable to have an upgrade to their main protection scheme.
		However, she was surprised by the battleship HMS Duke of York with the cruisers Jamaica, Norfolk and Belfast at the Battle of North Cape and sunk on 26 December 1943.
