Operation Sunfish

Operation Sunfish was a military operation by Allied troops in April 1945.

It involved the battleships HMS Queen Elizabeth and the French battleship Richelieu.

Their aircraft carried out a photo reconnaissance sweep of the area around Port Swettenham, 200 miles north of Singapore, on 14–16 April, before concluding the raid with an attack on Emmahaven (northern Sumatra) and Padang.[1]
