On August 13th 1942, the Allied oil tanker Ohio was attacked and crippled by dive bombers, as it tried to reach Malta as part of Operation Pedestal - a desperate mission to resupply the besieged mediterranean island. Ohio was left stranded 60 miles from its destination, with no power, nowhere to hide and no protection against further attacks. But help was on its way, in the shape of a motley crew of escorts, who were determined to drag the tanker to Malta no matter the danger and no matter how long it took.

    If WoWs is to be believed, this was an overwhelming benefit to the English, since the German Battleships had a tenency to have their turrets blown up and destroyers were invisible beyond 5km.

      The People's Republic of China and the Soviet Union similarly provided vital support to the Viet Minh, including most of their artillery and ammunition. the planned Viet Minh attack was based on the Chinese "Fast Strike, Fast Victory" model.

    The Scharnhorst Class is probably a unique class of it's own. I would say it a Light Battleship cause of it smaller 11" guns but battleship defensive armour thinkness. Like the HMS Hood, classed as a battlecruiser, but had the same armour thinkness as a battleship of the time and the same 15" guns, would be the first fast battleship.

    Interesting discription of this event. I personally have spoken to a sailor who was in theSheffields op room at this time. His description of the events is quite different. He said that in fact they did pick up the in coming aircraft but their officer did not believe the contact. He also said the they were hit with one exocet but it failed to explode. Its impact set their superstructure on fire - it was aluminium ( to save momey and weight) and it was impossible to put this fire out.

    USN commanders afloat finally placing their trust in the radar plots and using them to develop a solid real-time awareness of the battle space, instead of simply doubting it and waiting for visual cues before deciding what to do. Huge step change.
