The Battle of the Campobasso Convoy was a naval engagement between three British Royal naval destroyers and an Italian ''Regia Marina'' torpedo boat which took place off Cape Bon in the Mediterranean sea on the night of 3/4 May 1943. The Italians were escorting the transport ship ''Compobasso'', of 3566 Long tons to Axis forces in Tunisia.〔Whitley pg 183〕 ==Background== As the North Africa campaign neared its conclusion, HMS ''Petard'', HMS ''Paladin'' and HMS ''Nubian'' were patrolling the waters off Cape Bon. On the night of 29/30 April, they made a sweep along the south coast of Sicily and sank a 2,000 ton merchant ship escorted by German E boats, without damage or casualties to themselves.〔Connell pg 147-148〕 A few days later ''Nubian'' ''Petard'' and ''Paladin'' from intelligence signals waited for an Italian convoy to cross their path. The Italian 3566 ton merchant ''Campobasso'' had left Pantelleria island loaded with bombs, land-mines, motor transport and other vital supplies to the beleaguered axis force in Tunisia; it was one of the last four convoys sent from Italy to Tunisia. The merchant was then escorted by the Italian torpedo boat ''Perseo'' soon after departure.〔O'Hara pg 210-211〕〔Ufficio storico della Marina Militare: ''La Marina italiana nella seconda guerra mondiale'', Volume 8. Stato maggiore della Marina Militare, 1958, pp. 245-6 〕
