Information

• The HMS Prince of Wales was a British battleship of the King George V class that saw action during the Second World War. She was the second ship of her class, at the time the most modern class in the Royal Navy.
• Her first mission, in May of 1941, was a joint mission with the battle cruiser HMS Hood to prevent the German battleship Bismarck and the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen from breaking out into the Atlantic. In a battle in the Denmark Strait, the Hood was sunk by a few salvos from the Bismarck and the Prince of Wales was heavily damaged.
• At the end of October 1941 this battleship put to sea headed for Singapore to reinforce British forces in the Far East. On 10 December 1941 the Prince of Wales, together with the HMS Repulse, were sunk by Japanese aircraft. Additional information about this ship can be found on the Internet, e.g. at www.wikipedia.de.
• High-quality, first-class model with outstanding detailing.
