See, the United States named our battleships after things like North Carolina and New Jersey, and they’re currently on display in North Carolina and New Jersey.
Next ship: Invincible 2
Our enemies will tremble.
HMS Invincible: gets sunk
HMS Lame Dog: survives 18 torpedo strikes, 3 bombings, 2 fires, and an iceberg
Brutalizing this poor template.
If I were naming a ship, I would name it the HMS Completely Vulnerable.
HMS Target Practice
HMS Leaky Bucket
HMS Smoke on the Water
These ships will be around forever.
The SS Ready to Blow.
Thar she blows up?
UNSINKABLE!

See also the HMS Dreadnaught. A ship named “fear nothing” who spent most of her career relegated to coastal defence because she was outdated and would’ve been an easy target.
Dreadnought’s one score was ramming and sinking a U-boat. It gets more interesting because that U-boat was commanded by Otto Weddingen, who had previously commanded a really obsolete old U-boat named “U-9” when she sank three armored cruisers in one attack while submerged, a feat that shocked everyone into realizing the actual threat posed by submarines.
guess i’ll just name my ship vincible then. saves me the embarrassment if it explodes. and if it doesn’t, hey, i’m not complaining. win-win
Most people (I bet), when they read the word Jutland:
Jutland wastes?
It is pretty impressive that they apparently managed to get the ship moved into Jutland.
Jut means good in my local dialect so I think it’s a good place
Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.
If the ship is called Invincible
then why can I see it?
Because it’s not called invisible. That’s hard to spot.
