Admiral Sir Andrew Cunningham said the Allies are near complete victory in the Mediterranean as Britain and the United States prepare to confront Axis fleets on equal terms. He cited past losses of vital supply lines but warned German air activity hampers Allied efforts while French and Tunisian ports pose risks if Toulon ships switch sides. He voiced optimism that the Axis cannot prevail if supply routes stay under Allied control.
