Together with the lead battleship of the Queen Elizabeth series and other ships, Barham was in the Mediterranean to assist cruisers in their hunt for Italian convoys when she was struck by three out of four torpedoes launched by the German submarine. Four minutes after the ship was torpedoed, her magazine exploded and she sank.
The sinking of the battleship was a major success for the Kriegsmarine submarine forces and a heavy blow to the British Admiralty. We invite you to honour the memory of the ship's crew by completing a special chain of combat missions.
