Operation Catapult
|
In 1940 the French Fleet (similar USN-ships used in this scenario!) became subject to Vichy-France. In order to avoid any naval contribution to the axis, Churchill gave the order to negotiate with the French Admirals and to destroy their ships if necessary. In Mers-el-Kebir such negotiations failed. On July 7th 1940 at 6 p.m., Force H attacked.

Operation Horse Jump (Unternehmen Rösselsprung)
|
The fate of the allied Murmansk convoy PQ 17 is history. Because of reports that the German Battleship Tirpitz has left its Norwegian base, the convoy was scattered and was an easy bait for German U-boats and bombers. But what would have happened if the German ships would not be ordered back and would have engaged by the allied cover group?

Mediterranian Convoy
|
On 15 April, 1941 four British DDs ambush an Italian convoy carrying much needed supplies to Rommel's Africa Korps. The entire convoy and 2 of the 3 Italian DDs was destroyed, at the cost of one RN destroyer.
Note: Since Italian ships aren't available, I used German DDs, but reduced reduced crew and fatigue status to represent the inferior Italian fleet.

On December 7th 1939, the Destroyers Hans Lody and Erich Giese are on such a mission near Cromer, when they detect two British destroyers. The Germans could surprise the British and torpedo the DD Jervis.

In June 1941 the USN had a powerful force in Iceland to watch the west side of the Atlantic. The Germans decide to make one more breakout with the availble heavy units.The British who are still hurting from the Bismarck dont really have much to add to the fight. So with some convincing the USN attaches the Iceland force to the RN till this breakout is under control.
