The "Last Man Standing".
Well, actually "last man sinking", in this case. There are no photos of the Littorio
taking a victory lap as she took none, instead lunging for port before the water
flooding in could put her under.
. For the 2nd time running RMS Littorio (Glendon Pyror) was the last armed
vessel afloat. For the 2nd time she was in a sinking condition, but this time
Glendon had taken care to sink all the unarmed vessels first and this time Glendon
and Littorio could claim the hard earnt title of the "Last Man Standing" with
a well deserved victory.
