On December 19, 1941, six Italian naval frogmen riding human-guided torpedoes penetrated the defended harbor at Alexandria and destroyed two British battleships anchored under what naval command considered impenetrable security. The operation reversed Mediterranean naval superiority and invalidated British defensive doctrine through methods military planning had classified as operationally impossible. This documentary examination draws from declassified Admiralty records, Regia Marina operational archives, and post-war technical intelligence assessments to analyze how asymmetric warfare principles achieved strategic effects disproportionate to conventional force calculations. The Alexandria raid established tactical precedents that influenced special operations doctrine across all subsequent naval conflicts.
