[edit] Italian losses.

The Italian losses were: 1 damaged battleship, 3 heavy cruisers, 2 destroyers. The Italians didn`t know the radar and this fact played an important role. During the night the Italian ships were simply "blind".

The times in this article are in 24 hour format, but this is not clear, as the syntax is not HHMM, but HH:MM. As the first many times are in the AM, an ambiguity is created. 24.61.45.124 04:00, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Have fixed the time issue. The article seems to address the first point above regarding the lack of radar in the Italian ships. Sams37 (talk) 02:27, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
