When Churchill had sent HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse to Singapore, he had also intended for them to be accompanied by an aircraft carrier: HMS Indomitable. However, Indomitable ran aground in the West Indies, which led to its absence. PoW and Repulse were later sunk by Japanese air attack close to Malaya. Now, suppose the Indomitable had not run aground and was fit for service in the Pacific. How would this have affected the battle? What about the Pacific theater as a whole?
