An account of the disastrous WWII losses of Royal Navy Battleships, HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse on 10th December 1941. Their losses illustrated the effectiveness of aerial attack against naval forces that were not protected by air cover and demonstrated the importance of including an aircraft carrier in major fleet actions. Prince of Wales and Repulse were attacked by land-based bombers and torpedo bombers of the Imperial Japanese Navy east of Malaya.
