Thanks for watching! As I said at the start of the video I really am grateful to anyone who checks out the patreon www.patreon.com/c/historigraph or buys a poster www.historigraph.media/store as it really does help to support the channel to keep going. The last 2 years have seen a steep drop in the number and value of sponsorships, so I'm quite keen to move away from reliance on them as much as possible- so expect to see more posters and other things as the year progresses :)

There were accounts that she fired her heavy AA against the Italians. This (if true) makes Formidable the only carrier that was used offensively in a surface battle action in WW2.

HMS Formidable did also open fire on the italian ships with its main battery (4.5" guns) before leaving the battle line. This was extremely rare and worth a mention

Warspite pretending to be an aircraft carrier: By now one of Warspite's Swordfish, carrying Fleet Observer Lieutenant Commander Bolt, had been aloft for nearly five hours. Its pilot was "Ben" Rice and, after scouting in vain, he reported to Warspite that he only had fifteen minutes of fuel left. This was not enough to reach Suda Bay where the ship’s other aircraft had already gone. The Swordfish therefore had to be recovered by Warspite on the move - a challenging operation accomplished faultlessly. The Warspite lost only one mile and never slowed below 18 knots.” Also a real transmission from Warspite to Griffin: “Get out of the way, damn you.”

If I remember correctly, there was a delay in sinking the cruiser Pola after Zara because the british briefly considered capture her and tow her back to Alexandria, but the threat of italian air attacks in the morning convinced them to abandon those plans. Which is unfortunate for us ; Cunningham would have been the first admiral to capture an ennemy ship after a battle since the Napoleonic wars, and perhaps the Pola would have been preserved after the war in remembrance (those Zara-class cruisers are beautiful).

Watching more of it I realise the Mediterranean Theatre is possibly the most interesting piece of WWII naval combat. The British and Italians both stuck inside a relatively small sea and having to duke it out, with defeat having enormous implications for both sides. The Italians were also in my opinion the most potent navy capable of standing up to a respectable part of the British fleet.

[@PaladinCasdin]

The Italians get a lot of flack for being 'useless' in WW2, but the Regia Marina was genuinely a force to be reckoned with. Incompetence on the part of senior officers (and the fact that many sailors didn't want to be fighting for a psychopath dictator at all and would surrender at the first opportunity) meant they were much less effective than they should have been. They had some amazing ships though, the Littorio class battleships especially were a constant threat only blunted by the Italian's fear of losing them. Had they been more daring, or had Cunningham been replaced by a worse Admiral (Phillips for example), the war in the Med could have gone very differently.

[@spudgamer6049]

Though fairly heavily modernized in the 30s, the Washington and London Naval treaties did give some of these older ships a chance to shine decades after they were laid down, unusual in the age of steam and steel. The QE class and the Kongo class were probably the most useful of the ww1-ish vintage surface combatants, and the QEs were particularly successful. Some of the Italian rebuilds should have also been useful, but leadership issues, fuel shortages, and their early exit from the war limited that usefulness.

The Royal Navy had another more significant advantage, which is not made clear in this video - the overwhelming experience and training of the captains, officers and sailors. These skills meant the captains could focus on the battle knowing the engines were well-maintained; the guns would be loaded quicker than the enemy, function and hit their targets with more accuracy; and orders would be obeyed under fire. In land battles, a veteran is worth 2x to 4x his number against an inexperienced enemy.
