	Invincible class battlecruiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Invincible class was the first type of true battlecruisers built anywhere in the world.
		In 1914, Invincible was based on the east coast of England as part of Admiral Beatty's force, while Inflexible and Indomitable, together with the newer HMS Indefatigable formed the nucleus of the Mediterranean Fleet.
		Towards the end of the year, the British battlecruiser force was organised into three squadrons, with the 3rd BCS consisting of the three Invincible class ships under the command of Rear Admiral H.L.A. Hood in Invincible.

	HMS Indomitable (1907) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		She was the first of her type of ship, a battlecruiser, and like the Dreadnought, the class effectively turned every other cruiser obsolete.
		The production of these battlecruisers was ultra secret, indeed the secrecy led to the Germans countering the Invincible class with merely an armoured cruiser, what they believed would be an almost equal type of ships to counter the Invincibles.
		She, along with the newer battlecruiser Indefatigable and the obsolete French battleships Suffren and Verite bombarded the Turkishs forts of Sedd-al-Bahr and Kum Kale.

		This compromise mirrors that of the original Invincible: in a battlecruiser, which is designed either to destroy lighter units or flank heavier units, armor is secondary as it is never expected to enter a slugging match.
		As during battle the Invincible would be expected to perform at its utmost, resulting in its crew being subjected to up to six Gs of force, seats had to be reclined in the same way as high-performance fighters so that crews could withstand the G forces while still fighting the ship at maximum efficiency.
		In this service, the Invincible scoured its area of operations into one of the most pirate-free areas in the Inner Sphere, thanks to the pirates' knowledge that if the Invincible were to be in range of their craft, they were guaranteed to be run down and destroyed by the battlecruiser.

	Battlecruisers Of World War II
		Battlecruisers successfully did these things during WW I. What they were not intended to do was join the battle line itself and shoot it out with enemy capitol ships.
		The first battlecruisers (the Invincibles) were contemporary to the Dreadnought, the first modern battleship; the last battlecruisers (the Alaskas) were contemporaries of the last battleships, the Iowas.
		This put the Scharnhorst class at a disadvantage compared to the similar size British battleships of the King George V class, and when Scharnhorst encountered the Duke of York and her escorts off Northern Norway late in December 1943, she was overcome by the British battleship's larger guns.

	British Battlecruisers
		The second class of British battlecruisers were a slight improvement on the Invincibles, having a proper 8 gun broadside which was very resticted on the previous ships.
		Originally intended to be part of the Revenge class of 8 battleships (of which the last 2 had been cancelled), these 2 ships were assembled from the materials from the 2 cancelled Revenges.
		The last and best known British battlecruiser was originally intended to be one of a class of 4, but the cost of building them, £6,000,000 each, was too much, and 3 were cancelled on the slips.

		Conceived of by First Sea Lord Admiral John Arbuthnot Fisher in the same year as the revolutionary battleship Dreadnought, Invincible was intended not as a ship fit to fight in the line of battle, but as a commerce protector.
		Longer and faster than Dreadnought, the role of the battlecruisers was defined as follows: "to engage the enemy battle cruisers in a fleet action, or, if none are present, by using their speed to cross the bow of the enemy and engage the van of his battlefleet."
		At the Battle of Jutland on May 31, 1916, Invincible, Indomitable, and Inflexible were steaming ahead of Admiral Sir John Jellicoe's Grand Fleet when Invincible came under sustained fire from the German battleships Derfflinger Lützow, and König.

		The battlecruisers destroyed the German armored cruisers and small cruisers from a distance, the enemy could not defend himself because of his shorter ranged weapons and inferior speed.
		The first battlecruiser in history met its doom in the Battle of Jutland: as flagship of the Third Battlecruiser Squadron under Admiral Hood, it took heavy fire from German battlecruisers and was hit in one of the turrets.
		Because of their weak armour protection, which had been reduced because the Admirality thought speed to be the best protection (quote Admiral Lord Fisher), three battlecruisers were lost from direct hits of heavy grenades in their ammunition chambers or turrets.

		The USS INVINCIBLE testbed vessel was launched on test runs under the command of Commander Larry Young on Stardate 130404, completing tests in two months.
		Although smaller than many classes in the fleet, a single INVINCIBLE-class could in theory be a match for even an ARIZONA-class Battlecruiser, outmatching larger vessels in both speed and manoeuvrability.
		The class is also equipped with unusually comfortable quarters for its type, so diplomatic functions are also made possible.

	History of the 1921 Project
		The economy of the program was provided by repeating the hull of the Invincible, with an identical armor scheme, and simply stretching it by 25 feet to allow for better arcs of fire for the amidships turrets.
		But like the Invincible Class before them, Fisher sold the program to the public and Parliament by overstating the ship's level of protection.
		Everyone not "in the know" thought that the Indefatigable Class ships were the equivalent to the German Von der Tann, when in reality the German ship carried 4 more inches of belt armor and 2 inches more of deck armor.

		For reasons of secrecy, the Invincibles were at first designated as “armored cruisers,” as it was intended that battle cruisers should supplant those earlier pre-dreadnought vessels.
		Technically, the Invincible class was also structurally weak and Royal Navy technicians spent most of their prewar years trying to remedy defects in their electrically-driven turret training and loading gear.
		Returning home, the Invincible later took heavy hits from the German battle cruiser Lutzow at the Battle of Jutland and blew up on May 31, 1916 with only five survivors out of a crew of 1,031.

		The present Invincible, is the sixth ship of the Royal Navy to bear the name and the first of the Invincible Class of Anti-Submarine Warfare Carriers, was laid down at the Barrow-in-Furness yard of Vickers Shipbuilders Limited in July 1973 and was launched by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II on 3 May 1977.
		The planned remaining life of Invincible, in line with the Government’s Strategic Defence Review, and its capability to conduct its operational role as a front line Carrier were factors in determining the size and shape of the work package, which was subsequently contracted to Babcock Support Services Limited (BSSL).
		In spite of the reduction in manpower due to many members of the ship’s company assisting in the provision of tri-service emergency fire cover in the event that there is a national fire-fighter strike, the acceptance trials of a variety of ship equipment fits continues.
