In French West Africa... The French battleship Richelieu is attacked in Dakar harbor during the night by a small British unit.

In Egypt... The French commander in Alexandria, Admiral Godefroy, agrees to allow his ships to be demobilized. The French force here consists of the battleship Lorraine, three heavy cruisers, one light cruiser, three destroyers and a submarine.
