Details
The Battle off Endau was a World War II naval battle. It took place off Endau on 27 January 1942. Part of the Battle of Malaya, it was the first major naval engagement since the sinking of the battleship HMS Prince of Wales and the battlecruiser HMS Repulse, and the last effort by the Royal Navy to intercept Japanese convoy shipping around the Malay Peninsula. Two destroyers, HMS Thanet and HMAS Vampire were dispatched from Singapore Naval Base to break up Japanese landings at Endau. Sailing under the cover of darkness, they were able to locate the convoy anchored there without being detected by land- based bombers. Despite inflicting damage, they were repulsed by the convoy's naval escorts, and the HMS Thanet was sunk. The Royal Air Force also failed to inflict significant damage, losing half of their strength attacking the beachhead on 26 January, while the Japanese lost only 9 aircraft.
