Raid on Taranto by Anthony Saunders
The balance of maritime power in the Mediterranean was transformed at
a stroke by the British air attack which disabled three Italian
battleships in a few minutes. The target was the core of Mussolini's
fleet, tucked away in Taranto Harbour, in southern Italy. The attack,
codenamed Operation Judgement, took place in bright moonlight by
twenty-one Swordfish from the British carrier HMS Illustrious. In the
confined space of the harbour, their torpedoes had a devastating impact,
at least nine torpedoes struck their targets. In all, seven ships were
severely damaged, including the battleship Caio Duilio (left), Littorio
(right) and Conte Di Cavour.
