HMS Repulse is, in many ways, the less well-remembered of the Force Z capital ships. Not because of any flaws in her design, not because of any issues in how she served, and certainly not because she didn't do well at the engagement that sank her.

No, it's simply because Prince of Wales has the fame of her sparring with Bismarck going for her, really. Nothing against Prince of Wales, of course, but she does tend to overshadow Repulse.

Which is a shame, considering Repulse managed to dodge nearly 20 torpedoes in a master class on ship handling.
