<HTML>Hi Nonny
Japan wanted to construct base for the submarines on Madagascar. The forwarding case of army of South Africa and Great Britain has landed on Madagascar to not suppose it.
Be ordered battle actions with the French army which controled island in that time.
During this operation the Japanese submarines seriously damaged the British cruiser taking part in the company. About this company I read in the South Africa Military History Journal. Unfortunately I can not give a full reference. .
