With the surrender of France to the Germans in 1940 the French navy in the Mediterranean was a threat to the Royal Navy so it was imperative for the British that this threat was neutralised.
The bulk of the French fleet at Mers-el-Kebir in North Africa was destroyed on July 3 1940 by the British Force H from Gibraltar under Somerville after refusing to surrender.
This was the first time in history that an attack such as this had been attempted it was a great success and on November 11 1940, the Royal Navy crippled or destroyed three Italian battleships in the Battle of Taranto.

However, Cunningham needed all his powers of leadership to overcome setbacks at Scarpanto in May 1941 and the withdrawal of Allied troops from Crete, which left him with virtually no air protection from which the Mediterranean fleet suffered severe losses.
From June to October 1942, Cunningham was with the combined Chiefs of Staff in Washington, as head of the British Admiralty delegation and the respect he achieved here was underlined when he was selected as Allied Naval Commander Expeditionary Force.
Cunningham died suddenly on the 12th June 1963, in London, and was buried at sea off Portsmouth.

Despite this, the Royal Navy entered the war as a powerful force, though smaller than during World War I. During the earlier phases of World War II, the Royal Navy provided critical, if depressing cover during British evacuations from Dunkirk and Crete.
In the latter operation, Admiral Cunningham ran great risks to extract the Army, but saved many men to fight another day.
It suffered a massive blow however, when the battlecruiser HMS Hood was sunk by the DKM Bismarck.

Nicknames for the Royal Navy include "The Mob", "The Andrew", and "The Senior Service", while nicknames for British sailors include "Limeys" and "Jacktars" (as in "every man-jack of 'em").
One point of pride of the Royal Navy is that it is known simply as "the Royal Navy", as most other navies include their national name.
