- Four bombers and three AT infantry attacked French ships sailing through the Strait of Messina, leaving a BB and CA crippled. A schnellboot went in for the kill, sinking the CA, while being redlined itself. A heavily damaged Italian BB then attacked the French BB, sinking her. Sadly, the Italian BB was scuttled to prevent her being sunk by the nasty French before she could return to port.
