Default Re: The surrender of the Italian Fleet-1943
So what became of these Italian ships after May 8 1945.

Did the Italian fleet surrender, in the terms of surrendering, i'e raising a white flage, or hands up? While fighting between them and Allied armies where still taking place, or did they sail to Malta as a condition of Italies signing an Armistice, and thus surrender might not be the best term, as did the German navy surrender sailing to Scapa Flow or was this a condition of surrender or armistice.
