Hindsight is golden, that was a reasonable expectation when you built what was for all intent and purpose a coastal navy. Then the Germans come ans push you to hit traffic in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, promising an aerial support that never materialised. Iachino made his own mistakes, but many elements were outside his control or for that matter the control of anyone in the navy.
