They were the brainchild of [[John Fisher, 1st Baron Fisher|Admiral Sir John (Jackie) Fisher]], the man who had sponsored the construction of the world's first "all big gun" warship, {{HMS|Dreadnought|1906|6}}. He visualised a new breed of warship, somewhere between the [[armoured cruiser]] and [[battleship]]; it would have the armament of the latter, but the high speed of the former.
 This combination would allow it to chase down most ships, while allowing it to run from more powerful designs.

==Design==
In early 1906, three ships were laid down to the final specifications of Admiral Fisher's vision - {{HMS|Invincible|1908|6}}, {{HMS|Inflexible|1908|6}} and {{HMS|Indomitable|1907|6}}.
