The Flotilla's base in Malta was the ancient fort on Manoel Island, in the Marsamxett Harbour opposite Sliema; this shore base was called HMS Talbot.[6] The submarine base at Manoel Island was a priority target for Axis aerial attacks[7] and was heavily bombed in 1942 which forced a temporary withdrawal of the Flotilla from Malta.[8] WW2 Campaign HistoryDuring the height of the Siege of Malta it was submarines that were used to ferry in key supplies such as aircraft fuel and other essentials. This use of larger submarines like HMS Rorqual was called the "Magic Carpet".[9] The Flotilla never numbered more than 12 submarines, but this small force between January 1941 and December 1942, sank 412,575 tons of Axis shipping.[10] The Flotilla's mission highlights included:
