~ HMS Indomitable ~
HMS Indomitable (pennant number 92) was a modified Illustrious-class aircraft carrier of the Royal Navy. The Illustrious class was developed in the 1937 Naval Programme. Originally planned to be the fourth of the class, she was redesigned to enable her to operate more aircraft, 48 instead of 36.
Indomitable was laid down by Vickers-Armstrong at Barrow-in-Furness, on 10 November 1937. She was launched on 26 March 1940 and commissioned the following year in October. She was christened by Clementine Churchill.
She served in the Second World War seeing service in the Mediterranean (where she was torpedoed whilst participating in Operation Pedestal in Malta) and the Far East.
She returned to the reserve fleet and in October 1953 she was placed in unmaintained reserve. She was sold for scrap and arrived at Faslane in Scotland for breaking up on 30 September 1955.
