Vulnerable: HMS Prince of Wales in 1941 / Hein, David   Journal Article
Hein, David Journal Article

Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract In 1941 HMS Prince of Wales (53) journeyed from one historic episode to the next: the fight against KMS Bismarck, the first summit between Churchill and Roosevelt, convoy duty in the Mediterranean, and Force Z to the Far East, where she was sunk off the east coast of Malaya on 10 December. In addition, the Prince of Wales sailed from history-as-what-happened into history-as-public-memory. This article not only offers a portrait of an important man-of-war that has lacked a comprehensive biographical treatment; it also proposes consideration of a recurring theme-vulnerability-and follows this thread throughout this ship's history.
