Force Z
Force Z was a British naval squadron during the Second World War, consisting of the battleship , the battlecruiser 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.
==Composition==
Force Z consisted of the battleship , the battlecruiser and four modern Home Fleet destroyers, the E-class , , and the J-class . For Force Z’s final voyage, the older S-class and Great War veteran V-class were substituted for the damaged ''Encounter'' and ''Jupiter'', who remained in Singapore undergoing repairs.〔Stephen, p. 106.〕 A new aircraft carrier, , was to be included but ran aground in the Caribbean during working up trials, was considered as a replacement but this idea was dismissed as ''Hermes'' was too slow.
