HMS Courageous: A Historic Battlecruiser of the Royal Navy This photograph showcases HMS Courageous (pennant number 50), the lead ship of her class of three battlecruisers built for the Royal Navy during the First World War. Designed to support the Baltic Project championed by First Sea Lord John Fisher, HMS Courageous was built with minimal armor and armament, featuring only a few heavy guns. Completed in late 1916, the battlecruiser spent the war patrolling the North Sea. HMS Courageous played a significant role in the Second Battle of Heligoland Bight in November 1917, engaging the German fleet in a fierce battle. The following year, she was present when the German High Seas Fleet surrendered, marking a pivotal moment in the war. In this photograph, taken circa 1930, HMS Courageous is shown with a plane parked on its deck. The inclusion of the aircraft underscores the evolving nature of naval warfare and the increasing importance of aeronautical transport. The ship's sleek lines and imposing presence are a testament to the technological advancements of the time. HMS Courageous remains an essential part of maritime history, embodying the courage and determination of the Royal Navy during the First World War.
