On the night of April 15 towards April 16, they encountered near the\u00a0<strong>Kermennah<\/strong>\u00a0islands \u2013 following their detection by air reconnaissance \u2013 an Italian convoy of 5 commercial ships carrying troops escorted by 3 destroyers.\u00a0\u00a0The escorts put up a vigorous defense, but after about an hour one of them, the\u00a0<strong>RN<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>TARIGO<\/strong>,\u00a0and 3 of the commercial ships were sunk.\u00a0\u00a0The remaining 3 escorts and 2 commercial ships, although suffering from damages, succeeded to escape and\u00a0\u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03c3\u03ac\u03c1\u03b1\u03be\u03b1\u03bd\u00a0in the\u00a0Gulf\u00a0of\u00a0Syrte.\u00a0\u00a0One of the escorts was suddenly sunk two days later.\u00a0\u00a0The other one, following repair work done locally that lasted 4 months, was finally towed to\u00a0Italy.\u00a0\u00a0The British on the other hand lost the destroyer\u00a0<strong>HMS<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>MOHAWK\u00a0<\/strong>that was torpedoed\u00a0by\u00a0<strong>RN<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>TARIGO,\u00a0<\/strong>just before the later disappeared under the sea.\u00a0\u00a0Italian ships and hydroplanes sent from\u00a0Tripoli\u00a0saved about 1,300 Italian shipwrecked men.\u00a0\u00a0An Italian destroyer on its way to\u00a0Tripoli, carrying the shipwrecked seamen, was unsuccessfully bombed by 15 German airplanes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, in spite of all the efforts of the British Fleet, the above mentioned losses were the only serious during the transport of the German expeditionary Corps and the necessary supplies for the scheduled attacks that it had undertaken.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0In the period from February to June 1941, the Italians had transported to Libya about 48,000 tons of supplies and ammunitions with losses estimated at 1.5% in February, 9% in March, 8% in April and May and 6% in June.\u00a0\u00a0During that same period, about 82,000 men were transported, with losses estimated at 4.8%, mainly due to the above mentioned attack of a convoy on the night of\u00a0April 15, 1941.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The British Navy had decided to seal the\u00a0port\u00a0of\u00a0Tripoli\u00a0by sinking in its entrance the battleship\u00a0<strong>HMS<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>BARHAM\u00a0<\/strong>and a cruiser, in order to make more difficult for the Italians the re-supply of\u00a0Libya.\u00a0\u00a0Admiral Cunningham strongly opposed this idea, advancing the argument that, while the Alexandria Fleet will thus be losing one of its three battleships, there was thin probability that the\u00a0port\u00a0of\u00a0Tripoli\u00a0will be sealed.\u00a0\u00a0He added that human losses will be about 1,000 men and that \u2013according to tradition- such missions were undertaken by volunteers only.\u00a0\u00a0Finally, the opinion of the Commander in Chief prevailed and instead of sealing the port it was decided to bomb it with the battleships from close range.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This operation took place at dawn of\u00a0April 21, 1941, after a night of heavy air bombing.\u00a0\u00a0To mislead\u00a0the enemy, the Fleet left early\u00a0Alexandria\u00a0and initially escorted a convoy to\u00a0Malta\u00a0and after reaching the island on April 20 at dusk, he sailed south at high speed.\u00a0\u00a0For 45 minutes, 3 battleships and 1 cruiser bombed the\u00a0port\u00a0of\u00a0Tripoli.\u00a0\u00a0The Italians were completely taken by surprise and their gun batteries reacted only about 20 minutes later.\u00a0\u00a0In addition, while heavy air attack was expected by the British when the ships were returning to their base, the naval force returned to\u00a0Alexandria\u00a0unobstructed.\u00a0\u00a0British reconnaissance reported heave damages and the sinking of 5-6 ships, but damages to the port were not serious and its operation wasn\u2019t interrupted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quite rightfully though, when the Admiralty asked for the repetition of this operation, the Commander in Chief of the Fleet expressed his disagreement, considering that that kind of operations presented high risks for the Fleet, while the same results could be achieved in a few hours by heavy air bombing from Egypt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Admiralty made then a new recommendation, proposing sending to\u00a0Malta\u00a01 battleship escorted by a number of fighters to protect it during the whole trip.\u00a0\u00a0This new interference to his responsibilities infuriated again Admiral Cunningham, because those serving at the Center didn&#8217;t realize the difficulties he had to face with the forthcoming withdrawal fro\u00a0Greece.\u00a0\u00a0They also ignored the shortage of fuel in\u00a0Malta\u00a0that would become more critical with the arrival of a battleship.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case the Italian ships decided to venture off their bases, the Admiral wished to dispose his 3 battleships.\u00a0\u00a0He considered that the whole issue depended on the existence in\u00a0Malta\u00a0of a sufficient air force to secure reconnaissance, attack enemy convoys and offer air protection to the base and the ships.\u00a0\u00a0Malta\u00a0was of course a recommended base for the Fleet, but its air defense had never reached a suitable degree to secure the naval base.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There were additional difficulties: with the destroyers busy to evacuate troops from\u00a0Greece, the battle Fleet without escorts remained immobilized in the\u00a0port\u00a0of\u00a0Alexandria.\u00a0\u00a0However, on April 27 \u2013 on the day the Germans entered\u00a0Athens\u00a0\u2013 the Commander in Chief of the Mediterranean Fleet received a message from the British Prime Minister stressing that the main duty of the Fleet was the interruption of the Italian transports with\u00a0Africa.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is characteristic that both opponents were attributing the great difficulties they were facing in succeeding their missions to insufficient air co-operation.\u00a0\u00a0The difference however was that the British Navy disposed in the Mediterranean a Chief characterized by an attack spirit that knew how to assume his responsibilities and vigorously oppose the suggestions of the Center that could, in his view, develop to the detriment of the war effort.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3172,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[142],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3625","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-naval-war-of-the-mediterranean-1939-1945"],"yoast_head":"<!--
