isnt prince of wales sunk by japanese carrier carrier aircraft near the indian ocean in a couple months?
She’s sunk, along with HMS REPULSE, by landbased Japanese aircraft on either December 8th, 9th, or 10th [I don’t remember the exact date. The aircraft flew out of Taiwan and Viet Nam.
They were sunk off the east coast of Malaya. I believe you’re thinking of Nagumo’s raid into the Indian Ocean in 1942, when the Japanese sank HMS HERMES, and raided Sri Lanka.
