[QUOTE="jcottone45, post: 53487, member: 2413"] Yes I was referring to the Invincible class battlecruisers which were the first to be built. But I do remember reading about a fault in the hull design, but never gave it thought until I saw that broadcast on TV when the investigators went to the wreck of the Titanics sister ship the Brittanic. And according to these people they found that a statement by the white star owners was not true, they showed that the expansion gap was much wider in Brittanic than in Titanic which means the owner/builder knew their was a problem which they tried to correct in Brittanic except she was hit in battle by torpedo I believe, at least that's what they were all about on that show.!! As for the warships they were also not built with strong compartmentalization nor did they have strict water tight door regs & that was the reasons they all broke in half on impact, all went down in seconds killing almost all hands.If I ever find the books I bought I will gladly share them with you.I bought them from the US Naval Institute library of books way back in 1972-5 or there about.The book I am referring to is Dreadnaughts and has the entire story of all battleships/battcruisers built from 1906 to 1946. The HMS Dreadnaught the first ever and I believe the HMS Vanguard the last. I had so many books from that organization. Then I got married need I say more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
