In December 1941 Winston Churchill received a phone call telling him that the HMS Prince of Wales and the HMS Repulse had both been sunk by the Japanese by aircraft.
He said “In all the war I never received a more direct shock. The reader of these pages will realise how many efforts, hopes, and plans foundered with these two ships. As I turned over and twisted in bed the full horror of the news sank in upon me. There were no British or American capital ships in the Indian Ocean or the Pacific except the American survivors of Pearl Harbour, who were hastening back to California. Over all this vast expanse of waters Japan was supreme, and we everywhere were weak and naked.”
The HMS Repulse and HMS Prince of Wales were British Royal Navy warships that were sunk on December 10, 1941. The two ships were part of a naval force known as Force Z, which was dispatched to the South China Sea to deter the Japanese from Malaya and Singapore.
The ships were attacked by Japanese planes off the coast of Kuantan, in British Malaya.
The two capital ships, HMS Repulse and HMS Prince of Wales were sunk after being hit by multiple torpedoes and bombs, dealing terrible blow to British naval power in the region.
Captain Leach and Admiral Phillips went down with the HMS Prince of Wales. Sadly, the wrecks have recently been in the news for being plundered for their scrap metal by Chinese dredgers.

Same as a singaporean we were also taught about this but i think the most important part ignoring the need for naval power was morale . When most locals heard that force Z was heading for singapore they were in a sense relieved since repulse and prince of wales were decently advanced ships for their time especially prince of wales. Thats why once the radio broadcast of the sinking was released it kinda hit everyone knowing their only naval defence shipwise has been destroyed it was only inevitable then for singapore to be captured

Not only as scrap metal. Those ships were laid down before the Nuclear age. This kind of steel from back then is different. Since the First Nuclear test in New Mexico, steel is slightly radio-active when produced. So ships built before 1945 and then submerged (like the German Navy at Scapa Flow or the two battle ships) are incredibly valuable for "Low-Background-Steel"

This incident shows the quality of the commanders British Royal Navy. They continued to fight valiantly and maintained the loyalty of their men. Despite the sheer hopelessness of their situation, they did their utmost. Captain Leech, Tennant and Admiral Philips are commanders although who have been defeated, would’ve made Admiral Nelson himself proud. This battle was unfortunately when it was obvious that this was the end of the era of battleships and battlecruisers. Prince of Wales and Repulse. Sisters of battle, bonded by the depths of the ocean. Rule Britannia.

Yeah I agree. And also the genius of Japanese tacticians. Skill of Japanese pilots in general too with unguided bombing runs. Japan had essentially made the battleship obsolete overnight and would not ever become a useful asset in conventional warfare since. They probably should've done this before building the Yamato though.

@@user-pn3im5sm7k: Although the skill of the Japanese must NEVER be underplayed, hats off to them. But, the ironic thing is. Before WW2, Britain actually built quite a few ships for the Japanese Navy (the Kogno class being the most famous) & we trained a lot of their Naval commanders aswell. They also studied the British attack at Taranto (which they used as a template for the attack on Pearl Harbour). All this would eventually bite us in the arse, to say the least.

@steffenjonda8283 7 ай бұрын

Not only that - PoW escaped destruction at may 24th, as a dud of Bismarck did not explode. Otherwise - BOOM like HMS Hood. But - the japanese torpedo bombers in december were propably the finest torpedo bombers on the planet earth. No ship would have stand a chance against that. Even getting "unlucky", the second torpedo crippled PoW and sunk her. It hit the outer shaft, that was running for 25kn. The detonation caused vibrations and these destroyed the ship (all water tight sections were destroyed, so basically this single torpedo sank PoW. It is damned bad luck, but all other hits were not needed to sink her. Basically a copy of the torpedo that crippled the steering of Bismarck, who couldn´t escape after such a miracle hit at the exact spot at the exact time.

Excellent work! Especially making clear the bravery of the men on both sides. One remark though, when battleships capsize the main turrets fall out of the barbettes, they are only held by their enormous weight.

@bfrobin446 7 ай бұрын

Depends. A good turret ring is designed to retain the turret against some amount of force so it’s less likely to be knocked off center and jammed by shell hits or large movements of the ship. You couldn’t drydock the ship upside down and support the full weight of the turret that direction, but there’s often some amount of retention. In a sinking, you also have water pressure acting to hold the turret in place until the air pockets inside are crushed or flooded to match the outside pressure. Given equivalent turret designs, a ship that sinks in deeper water is more likely to lose turrets than a ship that hits the bottom before the pressure is fully equalized.

Similarly to our Malaysian neighbours, the history textbooks in Singapore's secondary schools also note their sinkings. The books also say the British withheld information of their losses until the Japanese inevitably invaded the island by land a few months later in Feb 1942. Even in the face of death, both ships fought to the bitter end and for that they're some of my favourite warships. Ironically, the Yamato would suffer a similar fate three years later...

WW2 really was the end of the British empire's naval dominance and preeminence as a global superpower

@tiberiusgracchus4222 7 ай бұрын

This was awesome! One of my favorites yet. I've read so much about this battle and heard it talked about in documentaries so it's super cool to see it animated like this. This was a serious low point for the allies in WWII.

Great video, guys. The use of voice actors really improves the immersion. That final shot of the officers on the hull brought a tear to my eye.

HMS Electra rescued the survivors of these ships. Captain William Tennant of HMS Repulse initially wanted to go down with the ship, but the crew convinced him to leave the ship.

HMS Electra also rescued the 3 survivors of HMS Hoods sinking

It's sad because the prince of Wales (king George the V class) is such a beautiful ship. It's also the one that was up against the Bismarck with the HMS Hood.

Ｚ艦隊は、日本海軍と戦う為に派遣され敗北しただけです。日英海軍の制海権の戦いであり。シンガポールは、関係ないです。長い歴の中で日英は、同盟国でしたが戦いました。米英と似たような感じです。

A picture of the two men walking on the side of the ship till the end would be legendary, in the most honorable way possible. It be would speak more than a thousand words. May they all rest in peace, in both ends with all respect.

Yarnold will probably appear as Unsinkable Oscar, the ship captains cat from the Bismark. He earned his name after surviving the sinking of Bismark and then two more ships after that. It is a good story.

My grandfather served aboard the HMS Express after it went into service with the RCN as the HMCS Gatineau. The ship was turned into part of a breakwater in Royston BC. Managed to go and take a small piece of it this past August

World of Warships, you don't add Yarnhub as a commanders voice and the Yarnhub cat as the captain, you would be fools. This would be one of your most profitable packages ever. Maybe even enlist the Yarnhub teams help in creating a video announcing a new ship for the game. Amazing work as always Yarnhub. Great work

The reality was that without air cover, they were sitting ducks. Naval warfare had changed forever. Such a sad loss of life.

Fun fact : HMS Indomitable was to provide air cover for this fleet but it ran aground in the Caribbean But I don't think so things would have been different with that.

I think there was an offer of air support from Malaya but it was declined, but don't quote me on that

@rajesrecipe2492 7 ай бұрын

@@cameronnewton7053 Yes, Sir Tom Philips, Captain of HMS Prince of Wales, was more proud of the Navy than the Air Force and underestimated its strength. During the battle, Captain William Tennant of HMS Repulse, asked to Singapore headquarters for the air cover. But he was late to inform them😭 The Australian Fighter Squadron based in Singapore reached the battle site only to see Repulse gone underwater and POW burning and about to sink....😭😭😓

The De Ruyter and many of the other ships sunk in the battle of the Java Sea have suffered a worse fate as those grave sites have completely disappeared off the sea bed due to illegal salvaging. Glad they stopped this before it got too substantial on both of these ships but still sad none the less.
