Re: Mediterrean fleet late war
Most of the activity in Sept/Oct 1944 was in the Aegean with many cruisers, escort carriers and supporting escorts involved. Ignoring that a few ships come to mind, mainly involved in shore bombardments along the Italian Adriatic coast.
AA cruiser Delhi to Adriatic following presence at Toulon on 13/9/44.
Destroyers:-
Loyal
Lookout
Undine
Urchin
Kimberly
Gunboats:-
Aphis
Scarab
The LSTs Bruiser & Thruster were involved in carrying troops to Greece around this time.

There were also US and Free French vessels.
The enemy had superiority in numbers, his tanks were more heavily armoured, they had larger calibre guns with nearly twice the effective range of ours, and their telescopes were superior. 5 RTR 19/11/41
