- [Operation Catapult]] attacked the French fleet at Mers El Kébir and Oran. In these Vichy French ports were two modern battleships, two older battleships and 21 other warships. Aircraft from ''Ark Royal'' provided reconnaissance confirming that the French Fleet was preparing to sail rather than accept Britain's terms. This aircraft also spotted from overhead to assist with naval bombardment and dropped mines to blockade the port's entrance and that at Oran. Next day, that aircraft further damaged a French battleship at Mers-el-Kebir with torpedoes. Finally, it pursued the French warships that broke out of the harbor, attacking them with torpedoes. This was the first instance of using an aircraft-launched torpedo on a capital ship at sea.
