Ship served in - H.M.S. Indomitable Pendant No. 77 - cruiser, battlecruiser
Rating 3rd Writer - 14 May 1915 to 28 May 1918 HMS Indomitable was one of three invincible-class battlecruisers built for the Royal Navy before World War One and had an active career during the war. She tried to hunt down the German ships Goeben and Breslau in the Mediterranean when war broke out and bombarded Turkish fortifications protecting the Dardenelles Strait even before the British declared war on Turkey. She helped sink the German armoured battlecruiser Blücher during the Battle of Dogger Bank in 1915 and towed the damaged HMS Lion to safety after the battle. She damaged the German battlecruisers Seydlitz and Derfflinger during the Battle of Jutland in mid 1916 and watched her sister ship HMS Invincible explode. She was then deemed obsolete after the war and was sold for scrap in 1921. |
