Battle of Cape Espartel
The Battle of Cape Espartel was a naval battle of the Spanish Civil War that broke the Republican blockade of the Strait of Gibraltar, securing the naval supply route to Spanish Morocco for the Nationalists early in the war. The action occurred on September 29, 1936 between two Nationalist cruisers and two Republican destroyers.
==Background==
The rebel conspirators at Ferrol had been able to seize the city's naval base in July, but at a large cost: over 30 mutinous officers had been shot by hundreds of sailors loyal to the Republic.
Their prize included the old battleship ''España'' (formerly ), the cruisers and the unfinished ''Canarias'', two light cruisers, one destroyer, and a number of torpedo boats and sloops. In September, a small squadron, including ''Almirante Cervera'' and ''Canarias'', steamed from Ferrol to engage the Republican navy.
At the start of the war, the Spanish Republican Navy had the battleship , three light cruisers, 14 destroyers, plus five submarines. In addition to ''España'', the two cruisers and one destroyer taken by the Nationalists, by the following year they had completed ''Almirante Cervera'' and ''Canarias''. They also had purchased four destroyers and two submarines from Fascist Italy. The Nationalists established a blockade of the Republican-held coastline for the entire duration of the war, but their paucity of ships limited the blockade's effectiveness.
