Ukuhlasela kwesikebhe se-torpedo e-Dardanelles ngoJulayi 1912 kwakungeyona indlela ebaluleke kakhulu yokulwa yemikhumbi yase-Italy phakathi neMpi Ye-Trypillia (1911-1912). Kodwa-ke, lokhu kusebenza kwaba enye yezimpumelelo ezidume kakhulu zeRegia Marina kule ngxabano.
Impi eyamenyezelwa yi-Italy eMbusweni Wase-Ottoman ngoSepthemba 1911 yabonakala, ikakhulukazi, ngokuzuza okukhulu kwemikhumbi yase-Italy ngaphezu kwemikhumbi yaseTurkey. Lesi sakamuva asikwazanga ukumelana nemikhumbi yesimanje neningi ye-Regina Marina. Ukungqubuzana phakathi kwemikhumbi yasolwandle yawo womabili la mazwe angqubuzanayo kwakungezona izimpi ezinqumayo, futhi uma kwenzeka, kwakungamaqembu ahlangene. Ekuqaleni kwempi, iqembu lababhubhisi base-Italy (ababhubhisi) basebenzelana nemikhumbi yaseTurkey e-Adriatic, kanye nezimpi ezalandela, kuhlanganisa. eKunfuda Bay (January 7, 1912) naseduze kwaseBeirut (February 24, 1912) kwaqinisekisa ukuphakama kwemikhumbi yase-Italy. Ukusebenza kokufika kwadlala indima ebalulekile emzabalazweni, ngenxa yokuthi amaNtaliyane akwazi ukuthumba ugu lwaseTripolitania, kanye neziqhingi zaseDodecanese.
Naphezu kwenzuzo enjalo ecacile olwandle, amaNtaliyane ahluleka ukuqeda ingxenye ebalulekile yemikhumbi yaseTurkey (i-squadron ebizwa ngokuthi i-manuver squadron, ehlanganisa imikhumbi yempi, ama-cruisers, ababhubhisi nezikebhe ze-torpedo). Umyalo wase-Italy wawusakhathazekile ngokuba khona kwemikhumbi yaseTurkey enkundleni yemidlalo yaseshashalazini. Akazange avumele ukudonselwa empini ewujuqu, lapho, njengoba amaNtaliyane ayecabanga, imikhumbi yase-Ottoman yayizonqotshwa nakanjani. Ukuba khona kwala mabutho kwaphoqelela amaNtaliyane ukuthi alondoloze imikhumbi eqaphile ekwazi ukusabela ezenzweni zesitha ezingenzeka (nakuba kungenakwenzeka), ikakhulukazi, ukwaba amayunithi okuqapha ama-convoys - okudingekayo ukuze kuhlinzekwe ukuqinisa kanye nemishini yamasosha alwa e-Tripolitania. Lokhu kwenyusa izindleko zempi, ezazivele ziphezulu kakhulu ngenxa yokungqubuzana okwathatha isikhathi eside.
Umyalo we-Regia Marina wafinyelela esiphethweni sokuthi kwakunendlela eyodwa kuphela yokunqamula umshikashika emzabalazweni wasolwandle neTurkey - ukuqeda umnyombo wemikhumbi yesitha. Lokhu kwakungewona umsebenzi olula, njengoba abaseTurkey, bebazi ubuthakathaka bemikhumbi yabo, banquma ukuhlala endaweni ebonakala iphephile, okungukuthi, eDardanelles, endaweni yokumisa imikhumbi eNara Burnu (eNagara Cape), amakhilomitha angu-30 ukusuka ekungeneni kwe- strait .
Ngokokuqala ngqa empini eqhubekayo, amaNtaliyane athumela imikhumbi ngokumelene nemikhumbi yaseTurkey efihliwe ngo-April 18, 1912, lapho ibutho lempi (Vittorio Emanuele, Roma, Napoli, Regina Margherita, Benedetto Brin, Ammiraglio di Saint-Bon" kanye no-"Emmanuele" Filiberto), abagibeli bezikhali ("Pisa", "Amalfi", "San Marco", "Vettor Pisani", "Varese", "Francesco Ferruccio" no "Giuseppe Garibaldi") kanye ne-flotilla yezikebhe ze-torpedo - ngaphansi umyalo we-vadm. ULeone Vialego - wabhukuda cishe amakhilomitha ayi-10 ukusuka ekungeneni kwe-Strait. Kodwa-ke, isenzo saphela kuphela ngokudutshulwa kwezinqaba zaseTurkey; kwaba ukwehluleka kohlelo lwase-Italy: UVice-Admiral Viale wayethemba ukuthi ukubonakala kweqembu lakhe kuzophoqa imikhumbi yaseTurkey ukuba ihambe olwandle futhi iholele empini, umphumela wayo, ngenxa yenzuzo enkulu yamaNtaliyane, wawungenzima. ukubikezela. bikezela. Nokho, amaTurkey azigcina epholile futhi awazange asuke enkingeni. Ukubonakala kwemikhumbi yase-Italy phambi kwe-straits kwakungeyona into emangalisayo kubo (...), ngakho balungiselela (...) ukuxosha umhlaseli nganoma yisiphi isikhathi. Ukuze kufezwe lokhu, imikhumbi yaseTurkey yadlulisela iziqinisi eziQhingini zase-Aegean. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngokweseluleko sezikhulu zaseBrithani, banquma ukuthi bangafaki imikhumbi yabo ebuthakathaka olwandle, kodwa bayisebenzise uma kwenzeka ukuhlasela okungenzeka ku-straits ukuze basekele izikhali zenqaba.
