Die drei ''Invincible''-Klasse [[Schlachtkreuzer]] wurden für die [[Royal Navy]] gebaut und sind 1908 in Dienst gestellt worden. Sie gelten als die ersten Schlachtkreuzer. <ref>Osborne, p. 206</ref> Sie wurden von [[John Fisher, 1. Baron Fisher|Admiral Sir John ("Jacky") Fisher]] erdacht, welcher auch das erste [[Großkampfschiff]], die [[HMS Dreadnought]], befürwortet hatte. Er entwarf eine neue Klasse von Kriegsschiffen zwischen [[Panzerkreuzer]]n und [[Schlachtschiff]]en; es sollte die Bewaffnung des letzteren mit der Geschwindigkeit der ersteren Vereinigen. Diese Kombination würde es diesem Typ erlauben die meisten Schiffe zu jagen, während es ihm möglich wäre schwereren Einheiten zu entfliehen.

<!-- The three '''''Invincible''-class battlecruisers''' were built for the [[Royal Navy]] and entered service in 1908 as the world's first [[battlecruiser]]s.<ref>Osborne, p. 206</ref> They were the brainchild of [[John Fisher, 1st Baron Fisher|Admiral Sir John ("Jacky") 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. -->

This design philosophy would prove to be most successful when the ''Invincible''s were able to use their speed to run down smaller and weaker ships. The classic example was the [[Battle of the Falkland Islands]] where {{HMS|Invincible|1907|2}} and {{HMS|Inflexible|1907|2}} sank the German armoured cruisers {{SMS|Scharnhorst}} and {{SMS|Gneisenau}} virtually without loss to themselves despite numerous hits by the German ships. They were least successful when standing in the main line of(contracted; show full)[[Category:Battlecruiser classes]]
