Operation Vigorous June 1942

[fsn]

Hang on ... you lost the Warspite, you didn't sink any Italian capital ships, just swatted a few pesky kites, and the convoy turned back?


I think the Admiral Byng treatment should be resurrected, Sir!

But I didn't lose Minorca! 

We'll try again in a couple of months from Gibraltar.....code name Pedestal......take the Nelson and Rodney this time....bigger ships with bigger guns to match the Italian Lottorio's (if they can find enough fuel to get them to sea)......carriers with lots of fighters (well Sea Hurricanes and Fulmars anyway  ).....use fast merchantmen with lots of AA.....

If that doesn't work I guess I'll see out the war running a weather station somewhere above the Arctic Circle if I'm lucky.
