Photograph was taken during a night encounter between British and Vichy naval vessels off the coast of Syria. Ships of the Royal Australian Navy were engaged in the ensuring action during which it is thought, a Vichy destroyer was badly damaged and probably sunk. The Vichy ships escaped into the darkness and entered Beirut harbor where subsequent aerial reconnaissance established the fact that a Vichy destroyer was lying there badly damaged. The shell-fire pattern resembles aircraft in formation. Office of War Information Photograph. (2016/02/11). Lot 11588-16: Activities in the Middle East.
