G'day one and all

Ok I am looking for a ship named the HMS Centaur that was part of the Royal Navy during ww2. I am told her fate was due to a torpedo from a uboat struck midship, breaking her back and sinking her with all hands, I have also been told that she was a battleship.

Now my knowledge with teh RN is limited but I am sure that other then the HMS Royal Oak being sunk by Gunther Prien, no RN Battleship was sunk due to torpedo's, I have also never heard of the HMS Centaur being a battleship but a crusier, but can find no information on either of them.

I have found the HMS Centaur the Carrier completed after ww2.
THe hospital ship HMS Centaur.
THe post ww1 Light Crusier Centaur sold for scrap.

HOwever no HMS Centaur during ww2, does anyone have any information of this?
