Cape Bon turned into a rapid Tribal-class destroyer ambush

Which Italian cruiser was the unluckiest?

Either cruiser lost at Cape Bon, where the leading Tribal-class destroyers overwhelmed them almost at once.

The action became a massacre. Although four British destroyers were present, the two Tribal-class leaders tore apart the Italian cruisers in roughly the time needed to launch their torpedoes, leaving little opportunity to recover from the surprise.
