HMS Barham was one of five Queen Elizabeth-class Battleships built for the Royal Navy during the early 1910s. Completed in 1915, she was often used as a flagship and participated in the Battle of Jutland during the First World War as part of the Grand Fleet and saw action during the Second World War.
On 25 November 1941 Barham was sunk by U Boat U331 with the loss of 859 men. Turn up the volume to listen to the commentator.

Hi Alan
I really enjoy your posts.
I am a volunteer at the National Memorial Arboretum and so find your posts very interesting as when I am doing guided tours I can use some information.
I always mention HMS Barham because I talk about the captain of U331 von Thisenhausen and how the depth gauge was faulty and they had just kept diving after hitting HMS Barham. I am sure you know that.
Many thanks
