LONDON,

The
Admiralty
announced
today
the
sinking
of
the
22,000-ton
aircraft
carrier
Ark
Royal.
She
was
torpedoed
by
an
Axis
submarine
yesterday
in
the
Mediterranean
east
of
Gibraltar
and
sank
today
while
in
tow.
Most
of
the
crew
were
taken
off
safely.
Loss
of
the
Ark
Iloyal
is
the
greatest
blow
the
British
Navy
has
suffeied
since
the
sinking
of
the
battleship
Hood
on
May
21
last.
Often
reported
previously
to
have
been
sunk
or
damaged,
she
had
figured
in
several
important
naval
engagements
in
this
war.
She
is
the
third
aircraft
carrier
the
British
have
lost
since
the
war
began
and
the
newest
of
the
three.
The
others
were
the
Courageous
on
September
25,
1939,
and
the
Glorious
on
June
8,
1910.
In
spite
of
the
losses,
the
British
Navy
today
has
more
aircraft
carriers
than
when
the
war
commenced
seven
in
commission
and
two
due
for
completion
in
1942.
