[edit] The destiny of admiral Inigo Campioni.

After the battle Admiral Inigo Campioni began to fall into disfavour, slowly. In May 1944 he was condemned to death by the RSI and shot.

[edit] Bogus information added

I have removed a lengthy addition by an anon editor who claimed that the Warspite was hit during the battle. I have seen this claim before, but there is no documentary evidence to support it that I have seen. In this case none was offered. Additionally it claimed that the Warspite traveled to the US to fix the damage, but this is trivially seen to be wrong by the fact that she first took part in the Battle of Crete, where she was hit by German bombs. That is why she went to the US to be fixed. Ridiculous. Maury 19:41, 13 June 2007 (UTC)


Why has Royal Soverign been included in the battle list as she didnt fire a shot in the battle or indeed even get close enough to be a threat for the Italian fleet, does anyone object if she is removed? Sams37 (talk) 00:26, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
