The action off Bastia (French: bataille navale de Pietracorbara)[1] was a naval battle fought on 9 September 1943 off Corsica's principal port of Bastia in the Tyrrhenian Sea, part of the Mediterranean Sea. It was one of the few successful Italian reactions to Operation Achse, and one of the first acts of resistance by the Italian armed forces against Nazi Germany after the armistice of Cassibile.
