It's like the Titanic, it was doomed the moment someone called it unsinkable. No self-respecting universe would let that slide.
Fun fact: The "unsinkable" actually came from its sister Olympic, after it came out relatively unscathed from a collision with the Hawke (Wikipedia link)
Fun fact: Between the 3 ships of the class, Olympic was the only that survived to retirement. Britannic was sunk by a mine in WWI after less than a year in service.
Well, and they ran out of the good bolts halfway through building the titanic and they had to use cheaper ones. And the captain thought it was fine to just barrel full steam ahead in a the foggy and icy north Atlantic.
