The crew was at diving stations, the gun crew was on stand-by and all tubes had been brought to the ready. It was not known to Lt.Cdr. Browne what the situation was on the shore. Near a seaplane station contact was made with a group of Yuguslav officers. Two of them came to Regent in a small boat. When they came on board it was found out from one of them (a Lt.Cdr., the other was not an officer but a pilot) that the Germans had taken over the area and later had turned it over to the Italians. Lt.Cdr. Browne asked to contact the British minister and the Yugoslav Lt.Cdr. went back to the shore to telephone him. Regent then moved to another place where the British minister might be embarked. There they were met by another Yugoslav Lt.Cdr. and an Italian army Captain. Lt.Cdr. Browne was invited to go ashore and meat an Italian Admiral at Kotor before he was to be allowed to see the British minister. Lt.Cdr. Browne refused to leave Regent. Lt.Cdr. Browne then offered to sent one of his officers ashore. Lt. D. Lambert, RN then left Regent. An Italian Army officer went on board Regent as 'hostage'. During the afternoon, while waiting for Lt. Lambert to return, several Italian aircraft were seen flying round Regent. At 1535 hours two aircraft started dive bombing attacks. Regent then got underway to leave the bay. Regent was near-missed several times and damage was caused to her. It was decided to abandon the attempt to evacuate the British minister. Lt. Lambert must now also be left ashore. When outside the bay Regent dived and set course for the Straits of Otranto. When clear of the Straits a signal was sent to Capt. S.1 informing him of the situation and the damage done to Regent (the main damage was to her battery). Also three of the crew were injured including Lt.Cdr. Browne and the first lieutenant. Lt.Cdr.
