This is incorrect. The British Empire's Malaya Command or RAF Far East did not spot the Japanese until the 6th of December 1941. The first real fighting started on the 7th, and it was at Kota Bahru. The HMS Repulse was in Australia and the HMS Prince of Wales was docked for repairs until 8 December when Capt. Phillips got the small fleet together to pursue the Japanese without air support. The capital ships sank on the 10th after a series of misfortunate events.
