Battlecruisers
British "Repulse" Class
 
Poorly designed ships (Repulse  and Renown ) - were initially designed as Revenge class battleships and it has been said they were simply lengthened and lightly armoured versions of them. Both ships were rearmored  in 1921 and completely reconstructed mid 30s.
