I used to try not to use "the" before ship names, but everyone else does, so I don't worry about it so much anymore...

So you're supposed to put a "the" before a U.S.S., but not an HMS?

Well, that'll teach them not to go into the Pacific Ocean when they're supposed to be in the Indian... :-)

Was't it sunk with torps on its way from HongKong or SIngapore to safer ports when Japan captured these cities ?

No, I think it was based in India. I'm not sure though. It and some British battleship were destroyed together. I think the Atlantic Charter was signed on the Repulse.
