British sailors halt five Vichy freighters off Africa
The admiralty said five Vichy French merchantmen were intercepted and boarded off the South African coast to prevent scuttling, with German contraband supplies feared. A night battle in the English Channel involved a Canadian commanded ship firing torpedoes at a large Axis supply ship, likely sinking or beaching it, while Axis escorts suffered minor damage. Crews of three French ships attempted to scuttle under German orders.
