Background

About the ship

The second ship of the Renown class—HMS Repulse—was laid down in 1915 and entered service in 1916. She took part in the second Battle of Heligoland Bight. Between 1923 and 1924, the ship participated in the round-the-world Empire Cruise and protected international shipping routes during the Spanish Civil War. At the beginning of World War II, she participated in the hunt for Bismarck and the Norwegian campaign. In 1941, the ship joined Force Z, which was supposed to curb Japanese aggression in the Far East. On December 10, 1941, Repulse was sunk by Japanese aircraft in the South China Sea.
