"Littorio" was repaired with all available resources and was fully operational again within four months, while restoration of the older battleships proceeded at a much slower pace (repairs took seven months for "Duilio", and the repairs for "Conte di Cavour" were never completed). In all, the Swordfish attack was made with just 20 aircraft. Two Italian aircraft were destroyed on the ground by the bombing, and two unexploded bombs hit the cruiser and the destroyer "Libeccio". Near misses damaged the destroyer "Pessagno".
