In March 1941 her Albacores torpedoed the Italian battleship Vittorio Veneto at the Battle of Cape Matapan, and after being bombed off Crete and repaired in the United States she joined the Eastern Fleet, covering the landings on Madagascar in the same month this photograph was taken. She went on to serve off North Africa, Sicily, Salerno and Japan, was reduced to reserve in 1947, and was later broken up at Inverkeithing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eYou can read more
