NO TARGETS FOR SUBMARINES
Few Axis Ships In Mediterranean LONDQN, June 26. Allied submarines in the central Mediterranean at present are finding no targets, says Reuter’s Algiers correspondent. The British victory in North Africa seems to have cleared the Axis from the sea. One submarine commander summed up as follows: “Submarine work is dull these days. Axis vessels are afraid to venture out. The few ships appearing hug the shore as closely as 100 yards.” Lieutenant L. E. Herrick, D.S.C., R.N., of Hastings, is named by an Admiralty communique as being one of the first of 10 submarine commanders who have sunk 13 and damaged seven Axis ships in the Mediterranean.
