HMS Indomitable
Two warships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Indomitable:
- HMS Indomitable (1907) was the first battlecruiser in the world, beating her sister-ship HMS Inflexible by four months. She was launched in 1907 and scrapped in 1922.
- HMS Indomitable (R92) was an Illustrious-class armoured fleet aircraft carrier launched in 1940. She served in the Second World War and was scrapped in 1955.
- The Royal Navy had planned that the third Invincible class aircraft carrier would be the third Indomitable. However, following the decommissioning of HMS Ark Royal, it was decided to revive that name instead, with the ship becoming Ark Royal.
In early drafts of Herman Melville's novel Billy Budd, HMS Bellipotent was to have been named Indomitable.
