Did it fight the germans? Or italians in world war 2?

[GR8TM4N]

@TheZagros3000 During the war with the Italians, no. It never left port. After the collapse of the front, and just days before the Germans reach Athens the ship left for Crete first, and then to Egypt. There, in Alexandria, it served as a anti-aircraft platform protecting the harbor from Stuka attacks. Later it left Alexandria and went to protect shipping lanes in the Indian Ocean. After the liberation of Greece, Averof carried back to Athens the government.

As for the Averof, remarkably it is the only battleship in the world to fight in 3 different major wars (Balkan, WWI & WWII), never being defeated and rise victorious, where as other legendary battle-ships like the Hood, Bismarck and the all mighty Yamato & Musashi, all went to their watery graves! That tells us a lot about this legendary battleship!

The archetypal iconic flagship / battle-cruiser Averof that single handedly defeated the entire turkish fleet at the battles of Limnos & Elli and ensured the sovereignty of the Aegean & the islands to Greece!

@alxxz thank you my friend for your good words! my next project underway is about the submarine papanikolis. also a very interesting part of greek naval history. in about 2 days it will be uploaded. thanks again for commenting!

@OlympicAirPilot

You're very welcomed! I only stated the obvious. I wish I had time to make similar videos. What software did you use by the way?

I'm really looking forward for your upcoming videos as the story of the Papanikolis submarine is a bit hazy in my mind...
