CW: WW2 History
#onthisday in 1940, the #fleetairarm struck the #italiannavy's battle fleet in its anchorage at #taranto. This was a stunning success of a raid, leading to the permanent loss of one of the Italian's fleets modernised #dreadnought BBs (Cavour), and temporary disabling of two more, Duilio and Littorio. What is less well known is that this was the second successful raid by Swordfish against Italian vessels in a shallow anchorage. #ww2 #navalhistory #aviation
