Unsinkable?


HMS Prince of Wales anchored at Fortress Singapore. Hailed as the unsinkable flagship of Force Z, she was ironically sunk by Japanese bombers at the opening moments of the Pacific War on December 10, 1941.

The Prince of Wales and Repulse made history as the world's first capital ships to be sunk at open seas by air power.
