When older warships fight in roles they were not built to survive

What are examples of technologically weaker ships being used where they should not have been?

The Invincible class at Jutland and older British air-defense ships in the Falklands show how operational necessity forces outdated vessels into high-threat roles.

The Invincible-class battlecruisers were poorly suited to the punishment they faced at Jutland, yet they were committed because commanders needed available numbers. The same general problem recurs when navies fight with the fleet on hand rather than the one they would prefer. In the Falklands, Britain would have wanted more Sea Wolf-equipped frigates but instead deployed several ships whose Sea Slug or Sea Cat systems reflected an earlier technological generation.
