Dr. Clarke's repeated Taranto simulations leave Giulio Cesare difficult to hit even with a larger strike. In those runs, her berth prevents a clean torpedo approach without passing over an anti-aircraft position or running into another ship. Skua dive bombers are the alternative considered for reaching her. The example places a limit on the scenario: heavily damaging most Italian battleships need not remove every capital ship.

Personal simulator runs identify Giulio Cesare as a difficult torpedo target even with the larger strike.
