Naval War College Review
Volume 68, Number 3 (2015) Summer
A dramatic image by the distinguished Italian maritime artist Rudolf Claudus (1893–1964) that points directly to the episode described in this issue by Vincent O’Hara and Enrico Cernuschi, in their “Frogmen against a Fleet: The Attack on Alexandria 18/19 December 1941.” The original painting hangs in La Spezia, Italy, in the Palazzina Comando of the Comando subacqueo e incursori. Other work by Claudus is exhibited at the White House and the U.S. Naval Academy.
