Re: Battle of Spartivento

Thank you again Platon,

That makes a force of 15 Italian DD in the battle not 14 DD as many sources say.

Re: Battle of Spartivento

Hi all again,

DD Libeccio also took part in this battle but I wonder which Squadron joined: 1st Battleship Squadron, 1st Cruiser Division or 3rd Cruiser Division?

Thank you very much
Jordi

Re: Battle of Spartivento

Sure Platon,

It's a pity!

I think DD Vidette was all the time with convoy but independent from Force F because Force F had to head towards Malta but Vidette not. She had to return to Gibraltar. But after entering in the Mediterranean she's not mentioned any more.

Thank you very much again

Re: Battle of Spartivento

Hi Platon, Thank you one more time, My reflexions about this subject are the followings: DD Duncan sailed first with Force F to reinforce the convoy during the passage through the Strait of Gibraltar and then joined Force B to join back with Force F during the battle. DD Griffin could'nt have been w...

Re: Battle of Spartivento

Thank you very much one more time Platon, as always, 1) I thought that DDs Velox and Wrestler were the ones that returned to Gibraltar after the passage of the convoy through the strait but not DD Vidette. 2) So, didn't DD Carabiniere take part in the engagement? I thought that DD Lanciere, Ascari a...

Battle of Spartivento

Hi all again,

Just two questions about this battle:

1) Which rol played DD Vidette during the battle: Was she with the convoy or left it and returned to Gibraltar before the battle?

2) Was DD Corazziere with the Italian fleet or didn't took part in the engagement?

Thank you very much
Jordi
