LONDON, March %. - The
British Navy, aided by Greek
units and the R. A. F., at last
has met the dwindling Italian
fleet away from home base and
sunk at least one Fascist war
ship and heavily damaged
several others in the Eastern
Mediterranean, it was officially
announced today.
The admiralty and the r. A. F.,
In piecemeal description of this en-
gagement-Which seemingly was the
largest of the War-listed one italian
battleship, two to four cruisers and
a. destroyer as damaged. This was
followed by the announcement that
at least one Italian ship had been
sunk, but whether it was one of
those on the damaged list was not
aScertalned.
German pilots reported to
Berlin tonight they had attacked
British sea force consisting Of
"destroyers and larger ships" near
the Greek island of Crete Three
bombs hit one large warship,
they said. British planes pro-
tecting the fleet engaged them
and the Germans claimed they
shot down one)
Details Not Complete.
Communiques emphasized that
details were as yet incomplete. but
that a big force OF Italian battle
ships, cruisers and destroyers was
involved.
From initial information obtained
from the British naval commander,
Admiral Sir Andrew Cunningham,
the Admiralty said one battleship
of the 35,000-ton Littorio class,
1taly's newest, had been damaged
and two cruisers were very Sc
verely damaged" in naval opera
tions of some Importance, which
began yesterday.
Rats containing italian surviv-
ors have been reported this morn
ing by our aircraft" it said. 1T
may therefore be assumed that at
least one italian ship has been
sunk
The r. A. F. Middle East COM
mand announced that two Italian
cruisers and a destroyer had been
hit directly with heavy bombs in
q battle in the Ionian Sea, between
Greece and Southern Italy, and
apparently these CommuniqueS all
referred to one continuous action.
One r. A. F. Bomber Missing.
Whether the r. A. F. s bag" du-
plicated any announced by the Ad-
miralty was not clear, but indica-
tions were that it did not, for the
Admiralty said results of the air
attacks were not yet known to it.
The R A F. said one of the cruis-
ers it had hit stopped, emitting
black and yellow smoke"
No British losses were mentioned
except for one r A. F. bomber
which failed to return to its base.
Totaling up the score against
Italian vessels thus far, British
observers expressed the belief that
there were few Italian battleships
left.
At the start Of the war. Mussolini
had four 1911 model battleships and
two new 35,000-tonnerS, the Littorio
and Vittorio Veneto. Two others of
this size were under construction.
These last two, the Impero and
the Roma, are known to have been
Launched and may have been COM
pleted and put in service.
Three Damaged November IL.
Assuming total of eight capital
chips. the British said Mussolini had
no more than two left fit for duty.
One new and two old ones were
declared to have been heavily dam
aged by torpedo-plane attack on
Taranto November II, another was
torpedoed in a running fight off
