July l5-(CP)-—The Aulriiraity tonight issued a state- ment giving additional informa- tion on the engagement July 7 in which the Mediterranean fleet chased to its bases an Italian fleet.‘ Tile statement snid the Italian force consisfcd of two battleshipsl a large number of cruisers and Opened yester- iapproximatciy 25 destroyers. The British shins pursued them until within sight of land. The statement follows:- "Fililcr information is now available of recent operations in the MedJtt-rranean. "Reports received during the morning of July 9 established that the enemy force consisted of two battleships, a large number of cruiscvs. amongst which were eight-inch gun cruisers. and ap- proximatciy 25 destroyers. “In the early afternoon contact was made by n squadron of Bri- tish light cruisers with the enemy cruiser force, which retired im- tncdlatcly on coming within ex- treme range of our supporting battleships. From this point the action developed into a chase. "A few salvos were exchanged between the battleships and one hit wvitll a 15-inch shell was ob- served on one of the Italian battle- ships before the enemy force es- caped through a smoke screen laid by their destroyers. "Tile destroyers also retired at full speed through this smoke screen before our light forces could close the range sufficiently to damage them. “Swordfish aircraft of the fleet air arm forced home an attack in the face of hca anti-aircraft fire and scored a. h t on an enemy cruiser. "The enem was pursued until the British feet was in sight of and though our forces re- mained to offer battle until the evening, despite a succession of bombing attacks by large forces of Italian aircraft. the enemy did not offer to renew the action. “When lt become evident that the enemy had no further inten- tion of Joining battle, our forces continued their operations. The British convoys to which they were acting as a covering force have now arrived at their destin- ation in safety. "During this latter phase our ships were repeatedly attacked by aircraft and three casualties to personnel were caused by bomb splinters from ncnr misses. "No other casualties were suffer- ed during these attacks by aircraft or during the brief fleet action, nor ‘were any hits made by the enemy by bomb or gunfire. "Five cnemv aircraft were shot. down by fighters of the fleet air arm. "The next of kin of the three casualties have been notified.
