<p>Can a transport enter a hostile sea zone, that was cleared of hostile ships (during the combat phase), during the non-combat phase to pick up friendly units.  For example:  If the UK fleet N of Egypt destroys the Italian ships in the sea zone around Malta, during the combat phase, can a UK transport enter that cleared sea zone, during the non-combat phase to pick up UK units on Malta?</p>
