On 2 December 1941, just five days before Pearl Harbour, Royal Navy battleships HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse were sent to Singapore as a deterrent against Japanese aggression. Just over a week later, both ships lay at the bottom of the South China Sea and Britain had suffered one of its greatest maritime disasters. Now, 60 years on, divers endeavour to discover why the ships were destroyed in under 90 minutes in the first engagement between battleships and aircraft in open sea.
