RN:
"Night action off Cape Matapan, Greece, 28 March 1941" by Norman Wilkinson.

A force of British Royal Navy ships, accompanied by several Royal Australian Navy ships, and under command of British Admiral Andrew Cunningham, intercepted and sank or severely damaged the ships of the Italian Royal Navy under Admiral Angelo Iachino.The three ships closest to the viewer are HMS 'Valiant' (1914), HMS 'Warspite' (1913) and HMS 'Barham' (1914). The latter is closest to the viewer in the middle of the picture, and is easily recognisable as she was the only one of this trio which did not undergo major reconstruction in the 1930s. The two Italian cruisers are the 'Zara' and the 'Fiume'.

"On August 5, 1864, Farragut won a great victory in the Battle of Mobile Bay. Mobile, Alabama, was then the Confederacy's last major open port on the Gulf of Mexico. The bay was heavily mined (tethered naval mines were then known as "torpedoes"). Farragut ordered his fleet to charge the bay. When the monitor USS Tecumseh struck a mine and sank, the others began to pull back.

From his high perch, where he was lashed to the rigging of his flagship, USS Hartford, Farragut could see the ships pulling back. "What's the trouble?" he shouted through a trumpet to USS Brooklyn. "Torpedoes", was the shouted reply. "Damn the torpedoes.", said Farragut, "Four bells, Captain Drayton, go ahead. Jouett, full speed." The bulk of the fleet succeeded in entering the bay. Farragut triumphed over the opposition of heavy batteries in Fort Morgan and Fort Gaines to defeat the squadron of Admiral Franklin Buchanan."
