The British Eastern Fleet under Admiral Philips, including the Prince of Wales, meant to meet with the enemy on Kuantan and strike a Japanese convoy. However, the cleverness ended up being incorrect and Kuantan ended up being "as quiet as a rainy Sunday afternoon". On her behalf in the past to Singapore each day of December 10, the Prince of Wales ended up being spotted by a Japanese scout plane.
