		Three Italian cruisers (Trento, Trieste and Bolzano) saw, at 07.55, four English cruisers, that changed their route and went away towards south-east, where it was the rest of the English fleet, thinking of being in inferiority conditions (they had guns of smaller caliber).

		The British were surprised to learn they were facing not a small high-speed force as they expected, but a force of heavy cruisers and escorting destroyers.
