		Later as a Japanese task force approached them at speed, they were identified by Japanese ariel recon flight and perhaps wrongly mistaken as a battleship and two heavy cruisers, the supposedly superior enemy battle line sent to engage and sink them withdrew under air cover with an engagement elsewhere.
