No, that was the HMS Barham. It was sunk by a German radio controlled guided bomb.
You’re correct! I had the wrong ships confused. I knew that there was a radio guided bomb somewhere in the mix. Experimental gyroscope I believe.
The HMS Barham struck a mine. It was the Italian battleship aroma that was hit by a German glide bomb (HS-293, I think).
I just went and checked. Wrong ship again.
Why did HMS Barham explode?
The final moments of the Queen Elizabeth Battleship, HMS Barham, when it was struck by torpedoes from a German submarine during World War II which resulted in a terrifying explosion.
So it wasn’t a radio guided bomb!
