Invincible-class battlecruiser

The Invincible class was a group of three battlecruisers built for the Royal Navy that entered service in 1908 as the first ships of their kind, conceived under Admiral Sir John Fisher as vessels with the armament of a battleship and the speed of an armoured cruiser. Their best known action was the Battle of the Falkland Islands, where Invincible and Inflexible sank the German armoured cruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. The three ships were laid down at three different yards in 1906, and HMS Indomitable was the one built by the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company at Govan on the Clyde, so the class belongs in the record of that yard.
