Base
In a naval depot, Kinross says goodbye to the survivors one by one.
What happened here
Egypt's great harbour was the main base of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet. Survivors of the ships lost off Crete in May 1941 were landed here, and on 19 December 1941 Italian frogmen riding human torpedoes crippled the battleships Queen Elizabeth and Valiant at their moorings. When Rommel reached El Alamein in July 1942, the city lay barely 100 kilometres from the front and the fleet withdrew eastward.
