Casualties

A Navy communique announced the first U.S. warship casualties of the Sicilian campaign: the destroyer Maddox and the minesweeper Sentinel, lost on July 10-11 during landing operations.

Also lost in other U.S. naval operations: in the Mediterranean, the submarine chaser PC 496 and the salvage vessel Redwing. Off the North Carolina coast, the gunboat Plymouth. Presumably in the Pacific, the submarine Pickerel.

Total announced U.S. warship losses since Pearl Harbor: 110.
