HMS Prince of Wales...I was reminded of what happened on 12/10/1941...Off the coast of Malaysia...Prince of Wales and Repulse were sunk by Japanese aircraft...

PRINCE OF WALES and REPULSE had no air cover...

I had no idea that British again named a Royal Navy ship “PRINCE OF WALES”...

Yes, I’ve always associated Prince of Wales with the battleship sunk in 1941. I checked Wikipedia and it appears there have been numerous ships with that name in the RN since the 1760s.
