The Italian units were escorting the transport ship ''Belluno'', of . ==Background== The battle was part of the daily aerial, naval and submarine campaign mounted by the Allies against Axis forces, in the spring of 1943, in order to achieve a complete naval and air supremacy around North Africa and Sicily. Their aim was to isolate and defeat the bulk of the German ''Afrika Corps'' and the ''Regio Esercito'' (Italian Royal Army) in Tunis by strangling their supply lines. The struggle was so fiercely contested that the maritime area between Italy and Africa was dubbed the "route of death".〔Bragadin, page 237〕 By April, Axis merchant ship losses reached an average of 3.3 per day.〔Sadkovich, page 326〕 The huge extension of minefields planted by both sides made surface trips against Axis shipping more unlikely than during the Libyan campaign.〔Bragadin, page 247〕 The supply route for the ''Regia Marina'' (Italian Royal Navy) was also shorter but the Allied air supremacy and the attrition of the war made it almost impossible to assemble large convoys. This along with a shortage of fuel, forced the Italians to use small and fast destroyers or torpedo boats to escort their cargo ships heading to Africa.〔Bragadin, pp 244–245〕 The convoys were only capable of making in practice, due to the loss of the main high-speed cargo ships by 1943.〔Sadkovich, page 317〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Battle of the Cigno Convoy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
