While some Spitfires did see the three ships leave Brest, they didn't radio it in, and it took a loooong time before the message made its way to the proper ears. Everyone were expecting the ships to leave at NIGHT, so everyone were caught completely by surprise when they dashed out at day. Some eight destroyers and lots of aircraft were tossed at the ships, but that didn't go all too well. A destroyer got a few bruises, and while the battleships got scarred by some mines, there were no fatal damages

I think it was June or July 10-13, 1942.
If it was the 2 most glorious days of the armed forces, why did they get raped
