I was wondering if anyone could help me find out where in the world, the HMS Invincible (1916) sunk in the Battle of Jutland.
Thanks :lol:

Some basic information (statistics) can be found here: http://rasputin.physics.uiuc.edu/~wiringa/...Invincible.html

Overviews of the Battle of Jutland can be found at http://www.worldwar1...uk/outcome.html and http://www.spartacus.../FWWjutland.htm [This is the best one to use!]

The very useful Wikipedia has some brief information:

Quote

The fifth Invincible was a battlecruiser of the First World War attached to the 1st Cruiser Squadron, Home Fleet at the end of 1908. She saw action at Heligoland, the Battle of the Falkland Islands, and the Battle of Jutland, where she blew up and sank after taking a hit from SMS Lützow, with the loss of 1,026 crew. Only 6 crew members survived.

But as to where it sunk, the answer is in the North Sea as shown on this map from John Simkin's Spartacus site: Posted Image
