==Plot==<br />
The events are a little modified and presented in a more favorable way for the Royal Navy. Namely, the damaging of HMS ''Valiant'' is just mentioned in a statement at the end of the movie, the two Italians are evacuated from the room under sea level before the explosion while in reality they had been placed there again after Durand De La Penne had told Morgan about the next explosion, and lastly the news suppression about the ships' damage is presented as much more effective than it was (actually after only a few days the Italian command was informed about the result of the operation).{{Citation needed|date = December 2022}}{{Original research inline|date=February 2022}}<ref>{{Citation |last=Coletti |first=Duilio |title=I sette dell&apos;orsa maggiore |date=1953-01-16 |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045142/ |type=Drama, War |publisher=Ponti-De Laurentiis Cinematografica, Valentia Film |access-date=2022-05-02}}</ref><br />
