The Invincible-class ships suffered from limited aiming angles for their side turrets, so the turrets of the next three battlecruisers were distributed in a more versatile way. HMS Indefatigable was laid down in 1909 and commissioned in 1911 as part of the 1st Battlecruiser Squadron. In 1913, the ship was transferred to the Mediterranean, where she helped track battlecruiser Goeben and took part in the Dardanelles campaign. In 1915, Indefatigable returned to the Home Fleet. The following year, she sank during the Battle of Jutland after her magazine detonated.
