HMS Prince of Wales
(1940 MEDIA LTD)
ONE OF the few remaining survivors of the sinking of HMS Prince of Wales in 1941, out of a ship’s complement of more than 1,500, saw her carrier namesake recently christened at Rosyth. His attendance at that event gives us an opportunity to reflect on the experiences of a veteran who once served on board the new ship’s earlier namesake, writes Allan George.
