Notes:

1. Latitude/longitude, including for days in port, show representative decimal positions for each day, as calculated by the Old Weather project's analysis program. As such, they differ by varying amounts from the positions recorded, usually at noon, in the log pages. In addition, some latitudes/longitudes have been amended in edited logs for errors in the logs, for errors in identifying locations by the analysis program, or simply for greater accuracy. In all cases, refer to the log-page scans for the positions as originally recorded. Not all log pages contain this information and the ships' positions have therefore often been estimated.

2. Full account of any day is available by clicking on the link above that day. Groups of links refer to log book covers and introductory information; some may be blank.

15 May 1917


BATTLE OF THE STRAIT OF OTRANTO


The Austrian ships involved were the light cruisers Novaro, Helgoland and Saida sailing from their base at Catarro. At 3.30 am they attacked for two hours the Otranto Barrage and sinking 14 trawlers protecting the Mediterranian from submarines. After that they returned to their base. In the mean time, H.M.S. Bristol and H.M.S. Dartmouth sailed with 4 Italian T.B.Ds from Brindisi to intercept the Austrian force. At 7.45 am contact was made and the chase began. As two allied T.B.Ds had engine problems and H.M.S. Bristol was too slow to keep up with the chase, only H.M.S. Dartmouth and two T.B.Ds followed the enemy. H.M.S. Dartmouth engaged Novora and hit her several times disabling her. Under the protection of a second group of Austrian ships Novara was towed to safety. While returning to Brindisi, H.M.S. Dartmouth was heavily damaged by a torpedo fired by UC-25 at 1.30 pm. Her crew had to abandon temporarily her and was accomodated onboard H.M.S. Liverpool.

The French T.B.D. Boutefeu sailing from Brindisi to assist the survivors of H.M.S. Dartmouth struck a mine laid in front of Brindisi by UC-25 and sunk in two minutes. The survivors were picked up by boats from H.M.S. Liverpool.

8 men were killed onboard H.M.S. Dartmouth and 13 lost their lives when their drifters were attacked by the Austrian squadron.

After being towed back to Brindisi H.M.S. Dartmouth was repaired and she could resume her activities.
