Two Batt|eships
Are SET Afire,
Cruiser Sunk
Axis Claims of Heavy
Damage Branded
As Fantastic
Earlier Story on Page AID

Earlier Story on Page AID
By the Associated Press.
The United States Army Air
Force, in action for the first time
alongside the Raj in the Central
and Eastern Mediterranean, was
credited officially today with
part in a smashing air and sea
assault in which two Italian bat
tleships were set afire, a 10000
ton cruiser was sunk and a
smaller cruiser and destroyer
were damaged.
simultaneously. the British Ad-
miralty and Air Ministry announced
that new supplies had been success
fully delivered to the garrisons at
Malta and Tobruk.
The communique acknowledged
the convoy suffered some loss, but
said fantastic enemy claims" of
losses inflicted on the convoy and
escorting craft were without any
foundation" The Germans had
claimed 81 ships sunk or damaged,
the Italians 20.
The Admiralty also said two de-
Stroyers were sunk, apparently in
addition to vessels previously re-
ported damaged.
Two Italian Formations Attacked.
The Raj announcement in a spe-
cial communique from Cairo that
American flyers had been in the
Mediterranean fight for the last four
days began to bring into focus the
picture of the laundering sea-air
fight in the straits between Italy
and Africa which the Axis previously
had sought to pass off as their own
success.
Two strong italian naval forma-
tions were attacked, the Raj said.
The joint statement, issued in
London by the Admiralty and Air
Ministry, said:
The Royal Navy and Merchant
Navy. with the cooperation of the
Royal Air Force and the United
States Army Air Corps, delivered
supplies to the garrisons at Malta
and Tobruk.
The operations have been car
ried through in the face of very
heavy attacks by superior enemy
naval forces and air forces, and
were not completed without loss.
Enemy Claims Fantastic"
Fantastic enemy claims to have
sunk cruisers and to have damaged
5attleships and an aircraft carrier
are without foundation.
Loss and damage also has been
inflicted upon the enemy by his
majesty's ships, naval aircraft. the
Royal Air Force and the United
States Army Air Corps.
One 10,000-ton 8-inch gun cruiser
of the Trento class has been sunk.
and at least two destroyers have
been sunk, and heavy losses have
been imposed upon enemy air forces.
Throughout June 13, IA and Is
our naval forces were covered by our
fighters and many bombing attacks
were intercepted. Heavy fighting
took place.
ON one occasion a raid by 40
Junkers-87's and Junkers-8S's es-
corted by more than 20 Messer-
schmitt-l09's was intercepted. The
enemy was compelled to jettison its
bombs far from our ships and it is
known that considerable losses we're
inflicted on the enemy but full de-
tails are not yet available"
