Re: Operation Tripe

Hi Thorsten,

Perhaps Barham and Malaya continued escorting the convoy while Eagle with some escorts were detached to make the attack on Tripoli.

Re: Operation Tripe

Thank you Platon!

Do you know if BB Barham took part in Operation MB.9 in late November 1940? I think not, but she was in Alexandria. So I don't know why she didn't take part in the operation.

Thank you again
