one of these things is not like the others! HMS Drake, an armored cruiser, was the prey of the Battle Cruiser type, the first class in the world being the other 3. Inflexible was the namesake of her class. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Drake_(1901)
Kilted Cowboy said:
there are also 2 more large ships in the background, 2 funnelled, possibly more battle cruisers

Contrary to her name, the HMS Invincible was blown completely in half during the battle of Jutland, 1916, and sank in 90 seconds, killing all but 6 of the crew.
