Could Prince of Wales have survived Force Z?

Could HMS Prince of Wales have reached port after Force Z if the damage and support situation had been slightly different?

Possibly, but the answer requires less severe shaft and flooding damage; saving the ship in her actual condition would have been very difficult.

Survival is considered possible but difficult because damaged shafts and flooding across multiple compartments left little propulsion or steering authority. Avoiding any one of the serious torpedo hits would make controlling the flooding and keeping the ship afloat more plausible. A less damaged ship would offer more scope for counter-flooding or towing. This is a counterfactual requiring a change in the damage state, rather than a claim that the ship could readily have been saved as she was.
