There is no Rastafarian Navy - there's a zero after Dread in the original caption so it should read Dreadnought Cruiser. Indomitable was a Dreadnought-class Cruiser

the term Dread(naught) Cruiser is also an obsolete description. HMS Dreadnought revolutionized warships in 1906. The first "all big gun" ship, she was the first modern battleship. Jackie Fisher who designed her, also designed the battlecruisers, of which INDOMITABLE was the second ship. They were originally known as armoured cruisers until they were redesignated as battlecruisers by an Admiralty order of 24 November 1911. The confusion seems quite common as they were also known as cruiser-battleship, dreadnought cruiser and battle-cruiser before the admiralty decree. The date may be 8/10/1915. It appears she may be coaling and/or taking on supplies.

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)

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.
