 At 1543/13 heavy explosion thought caused by 
      torpedo, occurred in Ark Royal 37 miles east of Gibraltar. Ship 
      stopped and quickly listed 20 degrees to starboard although majority 
      of Ships Company was taken off. By 21 hours ship was in tow of 
      2 tugs with destroyer alongside providing electric power. Though 
      steam has been raised in one boiler and was being raised in another 
      and hoped ship would soon be able to steam, at 4-45/14th fire 
      broke out in remaining boiler room and list increased to 37 degrees. 
       At six/14th it was reported that Ark Royal had sunk.
