[edit] Question

What is the sentence...Over 12 hours, five ships were sunk but the attack was reported...supposed to mean? Dr. Dan 15:08, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

It means, I think, that
"Over 12 hours, five ships were sunk" - The attack lasted 12 hours and 5 ships were sunk in this time
"the attack was reported" - At least one of the ships in the convoy managed to report (eg, to the Admiralty) that the convoy was under attack. This would be important because it would show the attackers' position and maybe attract retribution.
Hope this helps. Folks at 137 16:42, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
