		The Princess Royal launched HMS Prince of Wales and told the vast crowd that she was glad to be back in the same yard in which she had launched HMS Rodney in 1925.
		HMS Malaya was therefore far more than an instrument of war; it was a symbol of the intelligence and beneficence inherent in the ruling partnerships that made up the British Empire.
		It is big news not only for Singapore and Malaya but for the whole of the democratic countries bordering on the Pacific; it is bad news for Japan which may begin to see the shattering of her hopes for an unopposed naval advance to the south.

	British 15"/42 (38.1 cm) Mark I
		For this reason, sources which quote HMS Vanguard as having gun ranges in excess of 32,000 yards (29,260 m) are somewhat misleading, as such a range would have required the use of super charges, which were never issued to this or to any other ship with 30 degree mountings.
		The post-war completed HMS Vanguard carried 95 APC, 5 HE and 9 practice shells per gun until she was converted to "Royal Yacht" duties in 1947, after which time she rarely carried any main gun ammunition at all.
		As an example, in 1944 the non-reconstructed HMS Malaya mounted 20 mm Oerlikon AA guns atop "A" turret which were thus located directly below the muzzles of "B" turret.
