Battle of Cape Matapan Italians(Bill) vs. Brits(Eric)
Today the naval forces of Italy clashed with the Royal navy in a historic battle, the the outcome would be very different from history. 3 heavy Cruisers and 3 Destroyers of the Reggia Marina engaged 4 light cruisers and 4 destroyers of the Royal navy. In this engagement the Italian commander was aggressive and pressed the attack. Both sides would close within point blank range unleashing broadsides and torpedo salvo's. When the battle was over the Heavier Armor and guns of the Italians would triumph, all 4 of the British light Cruisers were sent to the bottom as well as 2 Destroyers while the Italians suffered as well losing 2 Heavy Cruisers and a Destroyer. The Heavy Cruiser Bolzano with her two remaining Destroyers would return to Toronto Harbor victorious but heavy hearted at the loss of her sister ships. Surviving crew from both sides were rescued by the Bolzano and her Destroyer escorts.
