Royal Navy - Arctic
Operations HMS Punjabi
While on duty with convoy PQ-15 on 1st May 1942,
visibility suddenly closed in and the 35,000 ton
battleship HMS King George V crashed into Punjabi's port side just abaft the
engine room and went through her
like a butter knife at 25 knots. Punjab\'s stern sank almost immediately.
