Operation Collie

Operation Collie was a British naval operation in World War II, from July 5–11, 1945. Its objectives were, firstly, naval bombardment and aerial strikes on Japanese positions in the Nicobar Islands,〔David Wragg, ''The Escort Carrier in the Second World War: Combustible, Vulnerable, Expendable!'', pages 157-169, 2005.〕 particularly on Nancowry Island;〔Jürgen Rohwer, ''Chronology of the War at Sea, 1939-1945: The Naval History of World War II'', page 423, 2005.〕 secondly, providing cover for minesweeping operations in advance of a possible invasion;〔 and thirdly, making carrier raids on Japanese airfields in northern Sumatra.〔 The contemplated invasion for which these measures set the stage, Operation Zipper, was never carried out, due to the Surrender of Japan.〔Malcolm H. Murfett, ''Naval Warfare 1919-45: An Operational History of the Volatile War at Sea'', page 446, 2008.〕
