The cruisers Sirius, Argonaut and Aurora with the new Q class destroyers Quentin and Quiberon formed force Q.
They left Bone at 1700 on 1st Dec with the express intention to intercept the Italian - German convoy H, transitting from Palermo to Bizerte.
It was to turn into a disaster for the axis ships, amongst whose escort was the destroyer Folgore, mentioned above.
