SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Called by some a "Mediterranean Jutland," the battle of the Otranto Straits involved warships from Austria, Germany, Italy, Britain, and France. It was a battle in three dimensions--engaging surface vessels, aircraft, and subsurface weapons (both submarines and mines). The Otranto action shows the difficulties of waging coalition warfare in which diplomatic and national jealousies override military efficiency.
