ROYAL NAVY HARBOUR DEFENCES - ALEXANDRIA

     
     

The Royal Navy installed a number of harbour defences at Alexandria Harbour, Egypt, at the outset of World War 2. By early 1940 two indicator loop systems, each with two loops had been lain over a four mile front at the harbour entrance.  To supplement this, harbour defence asdics (HDAs) were also installed. At the same time loops had been approved for installation in the Mediterranean at the Dardanelles, Bosphorus, Smyrna, Malta and Haifa.
