Royal Navy have been named HMS Invincible.
HMS Invincible (1747) was originally the
French 74-gun
ship of the lineL'Invincible, captured off
Cape Finisterre in 1747. She was the first purpose-built 74-gun ship of the line to serve in the Royal Navy. The ship sank in February 1758 when she hit a sandbank in the East Solent.
