In Battlefield 1942, the HMS Prince of Wales is the United States Marine Corps' battleship. It is a huge vessel, though not quite as large as its Axis counterpart, the Yamato. It has four positions: One captain who navigates the ship and controls its frontal cannons, one rear gunner who has the rear guns at their disposal, and two side gunners who have a series of light, rapid firing domed turrets, which are more effective against aircraft.
