I dont understand what about this event is confusing to you
The RN didnt want the Italian ships falling into German hands
What ifs and historical revision is fun and easy to do
Theres a reason phrases like "in the heat of battle" exist to illustrate what decision making is like when metal is flying around in the air
But the UK Admiralty was convinced that waiting around with their thumbs up their asses wasnt a good idea so they made a decision to sink these ships
Again, I dont understand what about this so perplexing to people
