Battle of the Ligurian Sea

The Battle of the Ligurian Sea was a naval surface battle that was fought on 18 March 1945 in the Gulf of Genoa in the Mediterranean Sea. A German ''Kriegsmarine'' force, consisting of two torpedo boats and one destroyer, was engaged in an offensive mine laying operation and was intercepted by a British Royal Navy force. In this action, the British destroyers and sank two of the German ships and severely damaged the third. This was Germany's last surface naval battle of the Second World War.〔
==Background==
On the night of 17 March 1945, the last three operational ships of the German 10th flotilla under command of Korvettenkapitän Franz Burkart conducted an offensive mine laying operation northeast of Corsica. After sailing out of Genoa, ''TA24'' (Ex Italian ''Arturo'') and ''TA29 ''(Ex Italian ''Eridano'') successfully laid 56 mines south of Gorgona Island while ''TA32'' (Ex Yugoslavian ''Dubrovnik,'' later Italian ''Premuda'') placed 76 mines in another field north of Cap Corse. The flotilla then reunited for the return to Genoa and was about twenty miles north of Cape Corse when Allied shore radar at Livorno detected their presence. Four Allied destroyers of the 3rd Destroyer Flotilla were patrolling in the area, the French L'Adroit-class destroyer ''Basque'' and Bourrasque-class destroyer ''Tempete'', along with the British L and M-class destroyers and . In the early hours of 18 March, all but ''Meteor'' had received Liverno’s radar report.〔〔Whitley pg 123〕
Captain André Léon Jean Marie Morazzani, the senior officer aboard ''Tempete'', ordered the British ships to intercept the intruders while he led the older and slower French destroyers southeast. This was because he believed the Germans might double back to intercept a convoy near Cape Corse.〔 ''Lookouts commander, Derick Hetherington, advised ''Meteor'' via TBS (Talk Between Ships) what was happening and the British ships went on separate courses northeast at flank speed. By the time Captain Morazzani determined that the German ships were no threat to the convoy, he was too far away to join the action.〔Tucker pg 466–7〕
