On the advice of my doctor, who informed me that suddenly stopping painting WW1 ships would be dangerous to my heath, I have started to detox and just do the odd ship here and there to ease the withdrawal.

HMS Courageous was on the extreme end of the Battlecruiser idea, her 4x15" guns could certainly pack a punch and her 32 knots top speed was 11 knits faster than the Dreadnoughts of the time. However her 3" belt armour would stop the water getting in but not much else.

She certainly opens up some interesting scenarios / match ups, next up will be Ark Royal.

Regards Ken
