Description Part 4.3

Much of early 1915 was silent. Britain quietly patrolled the Mediterranean, with French ships swiftly fleeing to any safe harbor they can get to. France did introduce the Sousmarin (or SM-Boat or Submarine), which did damage many British boats, but could never kill before they had to flee. Rumors come down from the Baltic of France using weaponized aerocarts to attack ships, but these are surely nothing more than rumors. On the Isle of Sicily, King Vittorio flees by aerocart from Caltanissetta as French forces push further into the Island.

The most important battle in the Mediterranean in Early 1915 was the Battle of Ustica in May. Part of the British fleet was patrolling the Tyrrhenian Sea, when this fleet was surprised by large French force. The Brits were able outmaneuver the French enough for minimal damage to be inflicted on them, but it started to turn around when the rumors of French Waraeros was confirmed. Of the 9 British ships that went into the Battle of Ustica, including 2 battleships, 3 cruisers, and 4 destroyers, only 2 cruisers and one destroyer made it out, with the French having losing slightly less. The Mediterranean was contested once more.
