The Republican destroyer Diez was damaged by the Nationalist cruiser Canarias off the coast near Catalon Bay. The Diez was so badly damaged that she had to be beached to stop her sinking. She was later towed to Gibraltar and remained there, interned, until the end of the war.

ReplyDeleteSadly, the fascist troops are represented in red color, and the Republicans in blue. When historically the colours must be changed.
Slorm Captain,
DeleteThanks for the link ... and I agree that the colours should be reversed.
All the best,
