Summary

Description Starboard side view of the Italian destroyer Artigliere, stopped, abandoned and on fire forward after the Battle of Cape Passero. The light cruisers HMS Orion (85), left, and HMAS Sydney (D34) are visble in the background, a Fairey Swordfish is flying overhead.
The Italian Navy had attempted to intercept an eastbund convoy from Malta on the night of 11/12 October 1940 with destroyers and torpedo boats which ran into the Royal Navy covering force which included the light cruiser HMS Ajax (22), the first radar-equipped RN ship in the Mediterranean Sea. Ajax stopped Artigliere, which surrendered and was scuttled on the next day by the heavy cruiser HMS York (90).
