The unmodernised Queen Elizabeth class battleship HMS Malaya was used as a target for unarmed weapons testing of the secret new Highball bouncing bomb in the later years of World War II. DeHaviland Mosquitos were built to carry two smaller derivatives of Barnes Wallis' famous Dambuster's bouncing bomb concept. Extensive trials demonstrated the weapons' high accuracy and ability to bypass torpedo nets and other harbour defences.
Testing was complete and a squadron deployed before the surrender of Japan ended Operation Highball.
