This book contains the Naval Staff History originally issued by
the Admiralty in 1957 as a confidential book for use within the
Royal Navy. It has since been declassified and is published here
for the first time, along with an extended preface.
This volume describes the dangerous convoy operations in the
Mediterranean which were necessary to relieve the garrison and
people of Malta, covering the period from the beginning of 1941
until the end of 1942. These convoys had to be fought through
against determined attack by German and Italian surface, submarine
and, particularly, air forces. Although casualties were
proportionately higher than in Atlantic convoys, Malta was
successfully re-supplied and remained a considerable impediment to
enemyOCOs attempts to supply their armies in North Africa. These
operations reveal the dedication, courage and professionalism of
the sailors (of both naval and merchant services) as well as the
airmen who supported them. A new preface sets the scene for the
Staff History.
The Royal Navy and the Mediterranean Convoys will be of great
interest for students interested in the Mediterranean Convoys,
Second World War and naval and military history."
