World War II in Pictures- The crippled Italian warship Artigliere is finished off by a torpedo from HMS York which hits her magazine causing a massive explosion. (October 12, 1940).
British forces were led by HMS Ajax which was making history, using Radar for the first time in a naval combat engagement, and using it to good effect. She had sunk the Italian destroyer support ships ARIEL and ARIONE and seriously damaged the destroyers AVIERE and ARTIGLIERE.
