Warning: this is going to be rather controversial.

I've decided to talk a bit about common misconceptions about the "Taranto night", at least in the wider public.

Just a quick, general talk, nothing more.

#RegiaMarina #RoyalNavy #Tarantonight #FaireySwordfish 1st: As it served as an 'inspiration' for Pearl Harbour, people often exaggerate the losses the RM took, taking it as a mini-PH that pretty much knocked out the RM out of the war for a while.

This happens rather often, with people claiming three BB sunk and more ships damaged.
