U.S. Naval Technical Mission to Japan, “Ship and Related Targets: Japanese Submarine Operations”

Our enemy counterpart: large boats, difficult to handle submerged, some twice as big as ours; complicated and inadequate controls; crowded living conditions and a completely foreign sanitation outlook; excessive vibration; inadequate silencing of emergency machinery; wholesale violation of safe submarining construction practices, according to our standards, The wonder was that the Japanese submariners operated at all, much less took their unhandy ships to sea and sank some of our largest men-of-war.

RN:
"Night Action off Cape Matapan, Greece, 28 March 1941" by Norman Wilkinson

A force of Royal Navy ships, accompanied by several Royal Australian Navy ships, and under command of British Admiral Andrew Cunningham, intercepted and sank or severely damaged the ships of the Italian Royal Navy under Admiral Angelo Iachino. The three ships closest to the viewer are HMS 'Valiant' (1914), HMS 'Warspite' (1913) and HMS 'Barham' (1914). The latter is closest to the viewer in the middle of the picture, and is easily recognisable as she was the only one of this trio which did not undergo major reconstruction in the 1930s.

The two Italian cruisers are the 'Zara' and the 'Fiume'.
