Interesting article Owen.

Not sure that the fact that Glorious and her escorts where ovepowered comes as a great surprise. Once you take the carrier out of it two destroyers wont stand much of a chance against 2 modern battlecrusiers/ships.

Why was the carrier so close to known Enemy forces without a sizeable main gun warship for protection? no mention of Churchill either who I understand had big part to play in why she was there.
