The
HMS Fiji British light cruiser
L' HMS Fiji era un incrociatore leggero, costruito a Clydebank nei cantieri John Brown Shipbuilding & Engineering Company nel corso del 1938, e varata nel 1939. . On September 1, 1940, the German submarine U-32 attacked the Dakar Task Force in its base. The German Commander reported to have torpedoed the armed merchant cruiser HMS Scythia. But actually, the U-32 hit the HMS Fiji, that was severely damaged. Il 1 Settembre 1940, il sommergibile Tedesco U-32 attaccò la Dakar Task Force nella sua base: il comandante Tedesco riferì di aver silurato l'incrociatore ausiliario HMS Scythia. Ma, in realtà, l' U-32 aveva colpito l' HMS Fiji, che era stato gravemente danneggiato. During 1941, after repairs,
the HMS Fiji moved in Mediterranean, where she took part in the
Battle of Crete: on May 22, 1941, she suffered fatal damages by at least
20 bomb hits. Nel 1941, dopo le
riparazioni, l' HMS Fiji fu destinato in Mediterraneo, dove prese
parte alla Battaglia di Creta, durante la quale, il 22 Maggio 1941,
l'incrociatore fu fatalmente danneggiato da almeno 20 proiettili di
cannone. |
