Always a risky name for a warship, but especially ironic for a battlecruiser. :)

Heh, so I got curious and checked to see whether there had actually been an RN ship with that name. It appears there hasn't (the closest they got were Invincible and Indefatigable), but in the course of checking I ran across a mention of a minesweeper called HMS Wilton. She had a glass-reinforced-plastic hull, the idea being that she'd have a better chance of avoiding magnetic mines that way. (It seems to have worked, since she's now the Leigh-on-Sea Yacht Club.) One of her nicknames was HMS Indestructible as a result, although she was also known by the somewhat less reverent tag HMS Tupperware. :)
