Since both German ships aborted and Axis decide first, the Axis will abort zone. Pretty sure you would stay then so will do so for you.

Most of the naval moves were obvious from the searches but the Axis did move almost every Vichy ship as well back toward mainland Vichy France.

Germany rebases the 110C further south in Greece. Italy rebases the falco from Crete to Northern Egypt. The Alcione bomber to Greece.
