An Admiralty communique states that His Majesty’s submarines in the Mediterranean sank six ships and damaged two others. Of these a medium-sized ammunition ship was destroyed by torpedo in the Gulf of Genoa. In the same area a small supply ship carrying troops was sunk and a medium supply ship was damaged by a torpedo. A London message says that one of the submarines was under the command of Lieutenant L. E. Herrick, D.S.C., R.N., Hawke’s Bay. A Polish naval communique states that the Polish submarine Czik, operating with the Royal Navy in the Mediterranean during the attempted evacuation of the German forces from Corsica, torpedoed and sank two supply ships, in the Bastia roads. Three Siebels ferry vessels, used for the transport of enemy troops to the mainland, were also sunk.
