As well as being Armistice Day, today we remember the Battle of Taranto – November 11, 1940 – one of the most daring raids in the history of the Fleet Air Arm.

During the British raid on Taranto on November 11-12, 1940, the Italian battleship Conte di Cavour was struck by a British torpedo, causing severe damage and sinking her in the shallow harbor waters, though she was later refloated and sent for repairs, never to return to service before the war's end. One of two torpedo strikes hit her below the waterline, creating a significant breach, leading to her grounding and eventual demise in harbor after Allied bombing in 1945. #reel #reels #reelsinstagr
