The Sinking fo the "Prince of Wales" and the "Repulse".
The destruction in December 1941 of the battleship the "Prince of Wales" and the battlecruiser the "Repulse" - sent by Churchill as Force Z to protect Singapore - by the Japanese airforce in the Gulf of Siam marked the end of an era for battleships and the start of a new order at sea. But the sinking of these two great capital ships is also the story of one of the most terrible strategic blunders of the Second World War which resulted in catastrophe for the British and their allies in the war against Japan.
This famous account by an eminent naval historian vividly chronicles the events leading to a tragic conclusion at sea for Force Z and its terrible aftermath.
