HMS Malaya

HMS Malaya in the Atlantic between February 10 - 13, 1942

HMS Malaya was a Queen Elizabeth-class battleship built for the Royal Navy during the early 1910s. Shortly after commissioning in 1916, she participated in the Battle of Jutland as part of the Grand Fleet. Other than that battle, and the inconclusive Action of 19 August, her service during the First World War generally consisted of routine patrols and training in the North Sea.
