From CTG 77.3 to Australia

‘Sorry the Hell Birds concentrated on you. My deep regrets for losses in the stout ship’s company.’
From Australia to CTG 77.3

‘Thank you very much. There is still a lot left in us.
At least we acted as Cockshye and attracted the flies from others.’
From Shropshire to Australia:

‘You have the deepest sympathy of all onboard in your misfortune of yesterday and our admiration in the way they were dealt with. Best of luck for the remainder of the operation.’
From Australia to Shropshire

‘Thank you very much, your sympathy is greatly appreciated by everyone.’
From USS California to Australia

‘Sorry about your flagship’s bad luck.’
From Australia to USS California

‘Many thanks but we still have a punch or two in us yet. Hope you are none the worse for your experience.’
From Warramunga to Australia

‘Much regret to hear of your heavy casualties. Are Leading Seaman Tydeman and AB Alliston all right please.’
From Australia to Warramunga

‘Much appreciate your sympathy. Both ratings mentioned are unharmed.’
From USS West Virginia to Australia

‘Glad to have your fighting spirit with us, hope we can give you more effective protection than we did at Leyte.’
From Australia to West Virginia

‘Thank you. The Nips are taking off our top weight for us.’
From Shropshire to Australia

‘The more we are together the better we will be pleased. For your own sake I wish you had not got such an astonishing attraction for flies even in winter.’
From Australia to Shropshire

‘Glad to be near you, but hope we don’t bring the flies.’
From Gascoyne to Australia

‘We would like to say how proud we are of your stout heart.’
From Australia to Gascoyne

‘Thank you. We are still functioning but seem to attract the flies.’
