Elsa was sunk in the Bay of Bengal by the Japanese cruisers Mogami and Mikuma and the destroyer Amagiri, on 6 April 1942. Most sources day that Elsa was sunk 35 nautical miles east of Cuttack, but in fact Cuttack is not on the coast. It is about 40 km inland, north of Puri. Would anyone know the correct position of Elsa's sinking?

Thanks,
