Even if fully deployed, Italian netting was only 10 meters deep and, therefore, British torpedoes could easily steer under it. If they actually did is an open question. By looking at the position of the nets and at the trajectory of the torpedoes, it does not look like netting was an issue.
Anche se completamente in posizione, le reti italiane, le quali erano limitate a 10 metri, non avrebbero potuto fermare i siluri inglesi i quali avrebbero navigato al disotto, ma guardando la dinamica dell'attacco, questo non fu un problema.
