HMS Barham Explodes Slow Motion Sinks World War II 1941

HMS Barham Explodes - Slow Motion

On the afternoon of 25 November 1941, the 1st Battle Squadron, Barham, Queen Elizabeth, and Valiant, with an escort of eight destroyers, departed Alexandria to cover the 7th and 15th Cruiser Squadrons as they hunted for Italian convoys in the Central Mediterranean.
The German submarine U-331, commanded by Oberleutnant zur See Hans-Diedrich von Tiesenhausen, detected the faint engine noises of the British ships and moved to intercept.
Three of the four torpedoes struck amidships so closely together as to throw up a single massive water column. Barham quickly capsized to port and was lying on her side when a massive magazine detonation occurred about four minutes after she was torpedoed and sank her.
Due to the speed at which she sank, 862 officers and seamen were killed. 337 were rescued.
