The Attack on Convoy AN 14 was a naval engagement during the Second World War between a British naval force defending a convoy of merchant ships, sailing from Port Said and Alexandria to Piraeus in Greece and two Italian torpedo boats which intercepted them north of the island of Crete on 31 January 1941. The Italian vessels, Lupo and Libra launched two torpedoes each. The torpedoes fired by Libra missed their target but one from Lupo hit the 8,120 GRT British tanker Desmoulea which had to be towed to Suda Bay in Crete and beached; the ship was disabled for the rest of the war. One other merchant ship turned back; the other eight vessels reached Piraeus.

  • L' attaque du convoi AN.14 était un engagement naval de la Campagne de la Méditerranée pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale entre une force navale britannique défendant un convoi de navires marchands, qui avait quitté Port-Saïd et Alexandrie pour Le Pirée et deux torpilleurs italiens qui les ont interceptés au nord de la Crète, le 31 janvier 1941. Les navires italiens, Lupo et Libra, lancèrent chacun deux torpilles. Les torpilles tirées par Libra ont raté leur cible mais une du Lupo a touché le pétrolier britannique Desmoulea de 8 250 tonnes qui a dû être remorqué jusqu'à la baie de Souda en Crète et s'est échoué. Le navire a été mis hors service pour le reste de la guerre. Un autre navire marchand a fait demi-tour et les huit autres navires atteignirent Le Pirée. (fr)
