Fleet Units In
Sea Battle Told

LONDON, April CUP) - A
naval spokesman said today that
three British battleships, four cru
isers, the aircraft carrier Formid-
able and destroyer forces compris-
ed the fleet which won the historic
victory of the Ionian Sea over three
Italian battleships, II cruisers and
destroyers.
THE engagement was historic
because for the first time skillful
coordination of naval operations
with attacks launched by aircraft
resulted in the enemy's speed being
reduced and our main units being
able to force action upon reluct-
ant enemy" the spokesman said.
The $685. cruiser Ajax, one of the
three which drove the German
pocket battleship Admiral Graf
Spec into the river Plate where it
was scuttled, was one of the crui-
sers in the action, the spokesman
said. and the $3.50 ton Australian
cruiser Perth was another.
