It's like when someone tells me something is unbreakable. It becomes my mission to come up with a way of breaking it.
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.
