The Amazing True Story of How The Allies Supplied Malta during WWII

Malta was a strategic lynchpin during World War II, one the Allies were unwilling to abandon.
Here's What You Need to Remember: Malta never forgot Operation Pedestal and the
Ohio. In 1946, crowds cheered and bands played as the rusty hulk of the tanker was towed out of the Grand Harbor for the last time. While a remembrance service was conducted for those who died in the convoy, she was sunk in the waters she had plied during one of the naval epics of World War II.
