Valetta, Dec 1941 and Oct 1942.
Hug the shore of the southern side of the island and the southern side of the harbour wall and you'll miss the sub nets. To find the southern side of the sub net, draw a line 2.9km long from the northern tip of the eastern breakwater directly due east. From this point, draw a second line 2.2km due south. If you stay between this point and the shore you'll get in behind the net and if you hug the eastern breakwater you'll get straight into the harbour.
Inside the harbour were a Small tanker, Small merchant, LST, Tribal class and 2 x V&W class.
If you return in Oct 1942 there's a T class submarine there as well.
Neutrals was a single Tramp Steamer.
Defending the harbour were at least 8 ASW ships - A&B class, C&D class, V&W class, Tribal class, Flower class. You name it, it's there.
Overall, hard work for little gain.
