Force Z was a British naval squadron during the Second World War, consisting of the battleship HMS Prince of Wales, the battlecruiser HMS Repulse and accompanying destroyers. Assembled in 1941, the purpose of the group was to reinforce the British colonial garrisons in the Far East and deter Japanese expansion into British possessions, particularly Malaya and Singapore. Lack of aircraft to protect Force Z, underestimation of the Japanese armed forces and the political rather than naval motive for its deployment, are blamed for the destruction of the force.

  • La Force Z est le nom d'un détachement de navires britanniques comprenant le cuirassé HMS Prince of Wales, le croiseur de bataille HMS Repulse et des destroyers les accompagnant. En 1941, la raison de ce détachement est de renforcer la flotte britannique en Orient et de protéger les possessions du Commonwealth dans le cadre de la stratégie de Singapour. L'absence de couverture aérienne a conduit à l'anéantissement de cette force par l'aviation japonaise le 10 décembre 1941. La Force Z était commandée par l'amiral Tom Phillips. (fr)
