HMS MALAYA

Semasa Perang Dunia Pertama ramai rakyat malaya ni terutama nya yang tinggal di negeri selat menderma kepada kerajaan british untuk berperang di eropah.

Salah satu benda yang Federated Malay States atau Persekutuan Tanah Melayu ialah HMS Malaya, di namakan dari perkataan Malaya. Bertempur dengan beraninya di dua perang dunia WW1 dan WW2 HMS Malaya ni terselamat dari tenggelam semasa perang walau pun akhirnya HMS Malaya berakhir menjadi besi buruk. Jasa nya kepada British tak ternilai.
HMS Malaya ni bukan calang2 kapal, BB-6 dari kelas Queen Elizabeth class battleship dengan krew 1300 orang ia mempunyai persenjataan yang power gila. Eight 15-inch guns, twelve 6-inch guns, eight 4-inch A.A guns, sixteen 2-pdr AA guns, and 1 aircraft.

Dari 1916 hingga 1944 HMS Malaya dengan bangga bertempur di pihak british sambil membawa Jata (Coat of Arms) Persekutuan Tanah Melayu.
