High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Operation Excess was a sequence of supply convoys to Malta, Alexandria and Greece in January 1941. On 6 January, convoy Excess (MC 4) left Gibraltar for Malta and Greece, covered by the Gibraltar based Force H. Simultaneously, the Mediterranean Fleet from Alexandria covered more supply ships (convoy MW 5.5) from Alexandria to Malta and then a returning empty convoy (ME 5.5). The cruisers Gloucester and Southampton, detached from the Mediterranean Fleet, carried troop reinforcements to Malta and then continued westwards to meet 'Excess'. Force H then returned to Gibraltar. The first convoy sailed from Gibraltar on 6 January, taking war materiel to the besieged island of Malta. It had a strong naval escort, including the aircraft carrier Illustrious, and became the first action that involved the Luftwaffe in the Mediterranean, after the transfer of X. Fliegerkorps to support the Italian Regia Aeronautica.
