MORE SHIPS FOR ROYAL NAVY
READINESS FOR ACTION LONDON, April S. “The Royal Navy’s striking power in the Mediterranean has been reinforced both east and west of the Sicilian Channel, to meet any attempt Marshal Rommel makes at a ‘Dunkirk’,” says a British United Press correspondent with the British fleet in the Mediterranean. "It is impossible to disclose what reinforcements have arrived, but warships, guns, and manpower, which were unavailable during the Alamein to Tripoli advance, have been added to the forces which are ready to strike if an evacuation materialises. “Some officers envisage a naval pincers attack from, both sides of the Sicilian Channel, combined Mth heavy aerial attacks and thrusts from speedy British and American motor torpedoboats and submarines. The enemy possesses similar forces, but the distance to Europe favours the.Allies.”
