“On December 10, 1941, the battlecruiser HMS Repulse and battleship HMS Prince of Wales sank off the east coast of Malaysia.
The British warships were the central elements
of Force Z, tasked with intercepting a Japanese invasion fleet”.
Ok so the battlecruiser HMS Repulse is one of my favorite ships of the world war, and because of that I made a similar copy of it in Lego but today we will be talking about the battlecruiser so let’s get to it.
HMS Repulse
Armament: 15”/42
(381 mm) twin barrel Mk I* main turrets
Armor: Belt armor: 3–6 in (76–152 mm); Deck armor: 1–2.5 in (25–64 mm); turret armor: 7–9 in
(178–229
mm)
Speed: 31.73 knots
(58.76 km/h; 36.51 mph).
Displacement: 32,000 tons
So, that’s all of the description about
the ship and it’s a really good ship but as the paragraph said earlier the ship
sank off the coast of Malaysia which is sad really.
So, let’s talk about the details now.
The HMS Repulse is a good ship and
actually Repulse's firepower is consistent
and comfortable, plus Repulse has served the Royal Navy for 25 straight years (really long
right?).
So
now it is time to talk about the HMS
Prince Of Wales, in the
paragraph the HMS Prince Of Wales was with the HMS Repulse when they both sunk.
And
now It’s time for the description of the ship (read on).
HMS Prince Of Wales
Armament: BL 14-inch (356 mm) Mk VII guns.
Armor: Main Belt armor: 14.7 inches (370 mm) Deck armor: 5–6 inches (127–152 mm)
Main turrets: 12.75 inches (324 mm)
Speed: 28 knots (52 km/h;
32 mph)
Displacement: 42,100 tons
As for Repulse well, it went
down later on…
I hope you had Fun with me in
this historical journey together
See you next time. BYE!
