38 killed, 45 injured as British destroyers hit mines off Albanian coast.
One office and 37 ratings were reported killed or missing presumed killed, and two officers and 43 ratings were injured when the British destroyers Saumarez (1,650 tons) and Volage (1,710 tons) stuck mines as they were steaming north through the channel between Corfu and Albania. Both vessels had been taking part in the Mediterranean Fleet's autumn exercises. The Saumarez, the first to hit a mine, was set on fire. She was taken in tow by the Volage, which then had her bows blown off by a mine. Uncleared minefields in the area restrict navigation in the strait to a channel about a mile wide.
