Alexandria, July 1942.
Approach from the northeast and follow the headland to the north of the harbour down the walls into the harbour itself.
Inside the harbour were a Large cargo, Modern tanker, Liberty cargo, Small merchant, Small freighter and a C&D class (total around 50k tons). Also in the harbour were a number of neutrals - Hospital ship, Small tanker, Small merchant and Tugboat.
Defending the harbour were 3 x V&W class, 1 x C&D class, 1 x River class and 3 x MTBs.
Overall, tricky approach but worth the effort.
