I am uncertain, and don't wanna sound as dumb as you will soon find out...but where these ships not the booty of the victor, and renounced their fight in accordance of the armistice...as a surrender to me,seems to mean,is giving up the fight, while hostilities are still taking place...it would be like saying the German fleet in WW1 surrendered to Scapa Flow, where they wherte directed to reluctantly after the Armistice was signed and a condition of terms signed...

bf109 Emil...if these Italians ships did indeed surrender, might someone help, or paste a direction of war as to terms of surrender, or difference between surrendering, and say terms of an armistice...

thanks..bf109 Emil
