Two new ships in 1 week?? This Coronavirus stuff really made me productive with shipbuilding, that's for sure.
Anyway, here's the latest addition to the Royal Navy, the HMS Prince of Wales. Fresh out of the yard, she was sent with Hood to intercept Bismarck in May 1941, where she took 7 hits from the German ships and had to have extensive repairs in Rosyth for a few months. Of the 7 hits, 3 were below the waterline (1 didn't detonate), 1 through the bridge, 1 at the base of the HACS anti-aircraft director, 1 thru the S4 gun mount (didn't detonate), and 1 to the aft funnel, wrecking most of the boats and the seaplane. She then carried Churchill to North America in August to meet with Franklin Roosevelt before heading back to Europe, where she joined Force H in the Mediterranean for a few months escorting convoys. In December, she was sent with HMS Repulse and several destroyers as part of Force Z to the Pacific to deter further Japanese conquests. Unfortunately, both ships were overrun by several waves of Japanese land-based torpedo planes, sinking them on December 10.
I built her as she appeared in May 1941, during her action with the Bismarck.
