Picture[edit]

I've moved this picture here, because I've replaced it with a clearer one of the ship, and with another picture of Orion in action, there's not really room for it. But it's better kept here, rather than lost as an orphaned image, until it can be worked in here, or somewhere else. Benea 12:02, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Punto Stilo?[edit]

I've changed the name of this engagement; the British name for this is Battle of Calabria (which is also the article name); as this is about a British ship, on the English WP, the British name is more appropriate. (I promise I won't alter it on the Italian WP!). Xyl 54 (talk) 11:11, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Construction[edit]

Article has her as being built by Devonport and Vickers-Armstrong. Is there any clarification on how this single ship was built in the South-West and the North-East? 2A00:23C7:3119:AD01:10CF:2BBE:CB90:C65D (talk) 15:55, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
