| Phoenix sailed on patrol in the Central Mediterranean from Alexandria on 3rd July 1940. A long-range attack was made on two Italian Battle Ships and four destroyer escorts and one hit was claimed. Phoenix continued on to the patrol area off Sicily where a minefield was to be laid. The Submarine was lost with all hands on 10th July 1940, probably after a depth charge attack by the Italian Torpedo Boat Albatros off the San Croce Lighthouse at Augusta in Sicily. | |
