  • La battaglia del Golfo di Biscaglia venne combattuta il 28 dicembre 1943 tra britannici e tedeschi nelle acque del Golfo di Biscaglia, nell'ambito dei più vasti eventi della battaglia dell'Atlantico della seconda guerra mondiale. Una flottiglia di cacciatorpediniere e torpediniere della Kriegsmarine tedesca, salpata dai porti della Francia occupata per scortare un violatore di blocco in arrivo con un carico dal Giappone, fu attaccata da due incrociatori della Royal Navy britannica, diretti dalle intercettazioni del traffico radio tedesco portate avanti dal sistema Ultra; nel corso di un violento combattimento in mezzo al mare in burrasca, i britannici volsero in fuga la formazione tedesca non prima di aver immobilizzato e colato a picco tre unità nemiche riportando di converso solo danni leggeri.
