King George V Class Battleship HMS Prince of Wales pictured at Scapa Flow in April 1941...She was sunk on December 10th 1941 alongside her consort, the Battlecruiser HMS Repulse, by Japanese bombers when they became the first capital ships to be sunk solely by air power on the open sea, a harbinger of the diminishing role this Class of ships was subsequently to play in naval warfare. The wreck of Prince of Wales lies upside down in 223 feet of water, near Kuantan, in the South China Sea.
