Topic: Can you Identify these Flashy Cars from The '70s?
Thornton's last operation with the ship was commanding the escort of a slow convoy to Alexandria, leaving Haifa on 31 December 1942. Petard went into dry dock once more when it was discovered that the previous visit was unsatisfactory. These improvements made them the choice for escorting troops across the Atlantic for the invasion of North Africa (Operation Torch) and their completion was expedited. Produced in Australia, South Africa and the United Kingdom, the Anglia was never released in the United States. The United States' first attack on Japanese soil occurred in early 1944. This event and others from January and February 1944 are highlighted in the following World War II timeline. Are you looking for a one night stand or a booty call? There are some discrepancies in the recollections of crew members about the gun action but what is known is that Petard "half-rammed" the submarine which sank some time later. During this time we met up with the occasional submarine; it was mostly Italian submarines that operated here and they were rather ineffectual. Petard subsequently spent time in dry dock in Alexandria for repairs to her bows following the collision.
