In an article in the February issue of "The Navy," published by the Navy League, Rear-Admiral Nicholl wrote:

Genoa, Jan. 28.
A prominent Italian businessman trying to get Iranian oll past a British legal boycott says Iran is going to order its own tankers soon from Italian shipyards.
Francesco Mortillaro, General Manager of Rome's Societa Unlone Petroli Oriente (SUPOR), said in interviews with local newspapers that Pre- mier Mohammed Mossadegh's Government will soon order two 18,000-ton tankers from Italy, as well as a number of patrol ships to be used against smugglers.
