On Friday morning, one battleship of the Littorio Clam and a force of enemy cruisers were contacted by our light forces to the south of the western end of Crete while further, air recan- naissances reported a second force, comprising two battleships, cruiseri and destroyers, further north,
The Fleet Air Arm and RAF. immediately attacked the former, seriously damaging the Littorio class battleship, reducing her speed con- alderably white several hits were also- registered on the cruisers onl destroyers.
While aircraft and light forces thus maintained contact with the enemy, who endeavoured to scatter, and re- turn to his base, the battleships followed up. They were able to make contact only as darkness fell, the chase towards the Italian shore having lasted about 12 hours and covered some 200 miles.
Warspite's Shattering Fire
The leading ship of the British battle Algot was the Warspito which opened Are with her 15-inch guns from n distance of just under two miles. The effect of the Warspite's fire was devastating. The enemy cruiser Flume lit up the surrounding sea by a violent burst of red flume extending from the foremost funnel to the after gun turret.
One observer said that the after turrek itself was blown clean over thin side
While the ship was thus blazing, the Wurspite poured in a furlier, brundside, causing a fresh outburst of flame. By now the entire battle fleet was in action, the whole scene | bring it up by gunfire, blazing ships

"Well Done”.
In his "Well Doze" signal to the warships on their return to port, Admiral Cunningham said: " am most grateful to all in the Fleet for their support on this ns on all other occasions. The operations just con- cluded have given us notable success ord supremacy. The sidilful handling of our cruisers and the untiring efforts of the Fleet Air Arm kept me well Informed of the enemy movements and the well pressed home attacks of torpedo-bamber aircraft on the
Littorio so reduced the speed of the enemy fleet that we were able to gain contact during the night and Itillet heavy damage.
"The devastating results of the battleships' gunfire are ample reward for months of patient training. This work wis completed by the 'destroyers in the admirable
way We have
