"...We shall act in conjunction with other ships of this force before, during and after a severe air attack. We are likely to receive some opposition. And we prefer it that way. Nobody wants to bet on a sure thing. But we shall be able to hold our end up because we are equipped and trained to do just that.....I wish you luck.
