HMS Indomitable
There have been two warships named
Indomitable, but the most powerful ship of the lineage was its last. One of the
Invincible-class was to be named
Indomitable, but the name was later changed to
Ark Royal.
HMS Indomitable (1907) was the first
battlecruiser in the world beating her sister-ship
Inflexible by four months. She was launched in
1907 and scrapped in
1922.
HMS Indomitable (R92) was an
Illustrious-class armoured fleet aircraft carrier launched in
1940. She varied from the earlier ships in her class by having double hangar decks, originally intended to increase aircraft capacity. Ultimately, as aircraft size increased, this proved to be a limiting factor. She was scrapped in
1955.
