HMS Gozo

HMS Gozo was a shore establishment of the Royal Navy located on the island of Gozo, Malta, during World War II. It served primarily as a signal station and a combined headquarters for various naval activities in the area. The establishment played a crucial role in communications and coordination for anti-submarine warfare and other naval operations in the Mediterranean Sea, particularly during the intense Axis air and sea campaigns targeting Malta. It likely housed wireless telegraphy equipment and provided accommodation for naval personnel. Following the end of World War II, HMS Gozo was likely decommissioned and the facilities returned to civilian use or repurposed. Detailed historical records of its specific functions and operations are relatively scarce, but its existence is confirmed by naval records and mentions in accounts of the war in Malta.
