Several were laden with troops and the sinking therefore caused corresponding loss of life. Th e communique also claims the sinking of the Japanese warship Haruna. 28,000 tons, and badly damaging a Japanese or English cruiser, name unknown. The British Admiralty states that, no British cruiser has been damaged. The value of the rest of the report may be gauged by such a claim'.
