Port Said, May 1942.
The route I took was through the gap in the breakwater on the western side of the harbour. No mines and no sub nets seen.
Inside the harbour was a Southampton class, Troop Transport, LST and V&W class. There was also a Small tanker and Medium Cargo but both of these were neutral.
Defending the harbour were 13 ships - 7 x Destroyers, 2 x ASW Trawlers and 2 x MTBs outside the breakwater and 2 x MTBs inside.
Overall, very risky and little gain.
