When she was launched in 1914, HMS Barham was one of the most powerful battleships afloat - and she would prove her worth to the Royal Navy over two world wars. Deployed across the globe, she saw action in Africa and played a key role at the Battle of Cape Matapan in the Mediterranean. But her distinguished career was finally brought to an end in 1941 by a torpedo from a German U-boat. News of her sinking was suppressed to protect the British public's morale. But that embargo was broken by a "psychic medium" who became the last woman in Britain tried for witchcraft.
