Italian Hospital ship PO sunk by FAA

Hi guys

I'm seeking information about the Hospital Ship 'PO' sunk by a Swordfish in March 1941 in Valona Harbour, Albania.

Apparently, Italian 'records' (propaganda?) claimed she was fully illuminated but the FAA suggested she was in darkness. Has anyone anything definitive? Fatalities are variously recorded as 21 or 24.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers
Brian
