"The Attack on Convoy BN 7 was a naval engagement during World War II between an allied force defending a convoy of merchant ships and an attacking force of Italian destroyers. The Italian attack failed (only the leading merchant ship was hit), and the destroyer HMS Kimberly sank the Italian destroyer Francesco Nullo. Kimberley was hit and disabled by Italian shore batteries, but was towed to safety by HMNZS Leander."@en . "1940-10-21Z"^^ . "minesweepers" . "sloops" . "Attack on Convoy BN 7"@en .
