Admiral Sir Andrew Cunningham, KCB, DSO, broadcasting the Fleets Greetings from the cabin of his flagship HMS Queen Elizabeth off Alexandria. He stated that 'The Navy in the Mediterranean in the past year has fought and won against some pretty long odds and has kept the sea.' This Admiralty photograph released to the press was all part of a cover up following the recent disabling of HMS Queen Elizabeth by Italian midget submarines.
