Battle of Taranto remembered

As its coming up to Armistice Day or Remembrance day, I thought it would make sense to look at another often overlooked event - instead of WW2 - that also took place on 11th November. Churchill saw Battle of Taranto as a turning point in the balance of power in the med. There's an article by Imperial War Museum's Nick Hewitt in December's issue of Military Times. can also view a preview online copy of the mag at www.military-times.co.uk/preview the site features lots more on aircraft of WW2 and lots on Battle of Britain.

Whats your thoughts on Taranto?

Well,
it's called the "Battle of Taranto" but there wasn't a real battle because, for several reasons, the Italian defence was taken almost unprepared.
The description given by Wikipedia
Battle of Taranto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia seems to me to be quite correct, at least for what I remember I read on other books.
