The Aircraft Carrier HMS Invincible (Top Drawings)

Witold Koszela

HMS Invincible was the lead ship of a class of British light aircraft carriers built between 1973 and 1985, originally designed as "through-deck cruisers" (TDC). This set them apart from conventional helicopter-carrying ships of the time, which typically featured a flight deck in the aft section of the vessel. Invincible-class carriers were the world's largest warships powered by gas turbines and featured a modular design which allowed replacement and upgrades of various elements of propulsion system and equipment without the need for any structural modifications of the hull. A characteristic feature of the Invincible class was a "ski-jump" ramp at the end of the flight deck designed for VSTOL Sea Harriers, which at that time were state-of-the-art combat platforms. As designed, the ship was to carry five Sea Harriers and nine Sea King helicopters (six ASW variants and three transports).

  1. Disappointed
    The content I thought was very basic. Considering this class of ship is now no more, I expected a bit more technical detail, deck structures etc. I did not consider the aircraft to be an integral part of the ship construction. Not value for money.

  2. Great for modelling
    Due to the size of these vessels, books such as this will be a God send to the modeller. It enables them to scan and print in any scale they wish, it provides them highly detailed line drawings against which to check their models, and enables them to take detailing to the level of their choice.
