	Indefatigable Battlecruiser - HMS Indefatigable, New Zealand, HMAS Australia
		Easy to distinguish from the generally similar Invincible class by the arrangement of the wing turrets which now had a funnel between them.
		The secondary armament was an improved version of 4 inch gun and none were mounted on the turret roofs.
		The extra size was however not used to address any of the weaknesses of the original ships so the armour was similar but distributed differently but in some respects this re-distribution actually made the protection worse.
