The attack was the main part of Operation Catapult, a British plan to neutralize or destroy neutral French ships to prevent them from falling into German hands after the Allied defeat in the Battle of France.

[[wikipedia:Operation Torch|''Copied from Wikipedia'']]
[[wikipedia:Attack on Mers-el-Kébir|''Copied from Wikipedia'']]
Operation Torch (8 November 1942 – 16 November 1942) was an Allied invasion of French North Africa. Torch was a compromise operation that met the British objective of securing victory in North Africa while allowing American armed forces the opportunity to engage in the fight against Nazi Germany on a limited scale. It was the first mass involvement of US troops in the European–North African Theatre, and saw the first major airborne assault carried out by the United States.
*[[Ark Royal]] is the only available ship currently, that took part in "Operation Catapult".
*[[Richelieu]], [[Nelson]], [[Victorious]], and [[Sheffield]] are the only ships currently in the game that took part in "Operation Torch".
