Because of HMS Invincible at Jutland...

[painter]

And Hood versus Bismarck!

[JohnBovenmyer]

Don't forget the last built Brit BC, sunk in three minutes with loss of all but 3 crew, HMS Hood.

The battle cruisers were more or less immediately misused by the Admiralty who never seemed to know what to do with them. The frigate commanders in the days of ships of line wouldn’t have had their issues. Were they were only used against smaller ships, support landing or to harass the battleships from a distance as intended they would have done a sterling job.

Even then, they wouldn’t have benefitted from the status as battlecruiser the way frigates before them had (it was considered bad form for a rated ship to attack a frigate, so unless one attacked a ship of the line it often could and was expected to toddle off).

Don’t forget HMS Hood either....

The guns of a battleship with speed of a cruiser,
and the thinner armor of a cruiser too...

[Robert A Cook PE]

Well, HMS Invincible at Jutland. And 3 other battlecruisers that were sunk.

In the next war, all but one British battlecruisers were sunk. All foreign battlecruisers were sunk as well. None were succesful at their intended task.
