December 10, 1941. The pride of Britsh Eastern fleet, HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse together with three class E and one class J destroyers sail out to engage Japanese invasion fleet. They fail to find it, and are returning to Singapore when they are discovered by land based planes and attacked. Lacking air cover, both Prince of Wales and Repulse are sunk in RL (here, only Prince.. )

This, together with Pearl Harbour attack effectively ended the era of battleship and introduced the supremacy of naval aviation.

A few video notes:
This is a custom battle I set up using the ABDACOM mod. I played it a few times (from both sides), and usually only Prince or Repulse got sunk, so I selected one I liked. Sorry, no Repulse sinking (she got badly damaged here). Duh, I guess neither AI nor I am as good as Japanese aviation at the time :D
