Battle of the Espero Convoy

The Battle of the Espero Convoy was the first Second World War surface engagement between Italian and Allied warships. It took place southwest of Crete on 28 June 1940, after a force of seven cruisers and 16 destroyers, preparing to escort three Allied convoys to Alexandria, were informed of the presence of an Italian flotilla of three destroyers. The Italian warships were bound from Taranto to Tobruk, carrying an anti-tank army unit to North Africa.
==Background==
On 10 June 1940, Italy declared war on Britain and France. The Italian High Command (''Comando Supremo'') expected a British Army advance into Cyrenaica led by armoured forces, and decided that an anti-tank unit should be moved to Tobruk as soon as possible. The unit comprised ten anti-tank guns, of ammunition, and 162 soldiers.〔Greene & Massignani, p. 63〕〔De La Sierra, p. 59〕
