During this seven-hour naval battle, the bravery of the Tamils was once again demonstrated to the Sinhalese by the naval team of the LTTE. Many achievements were recorded and passed away. In this attack, 47 naval personnel were killed, and 62 naval personnel were seriously injured, but some naval personnel, including a captain-rank officer, escaped to Tamil Nadu and were later airlifted to Colombo.
