I am trying to put things together in my databases. Is there any knowledge about the amount of 8" & 6" ammo expanded by the italian cruiser divs. during the battles of Calabria? I have a figure of 923 6in shells expanded by ORION, NEPTUNE, SYDNEY, GLOUCESTER and LIVERPOOL but no individual breakdown.
I have a figure of 1300 shells expanded at Cape Teulada by british forces (unfortunately without individual breakdown) but some data from the italian side:

POLA at Cape Teulada, 118 shells, 1 hit
FIUME at Cape Teulada, 218 shells, 1 hit
GORIZIA at Cape Teulada, 123 shells, 0 hits
TRIESTE at Cape Teulada, 96 shells, 0 hits
TRENTO at Cape Teulada, 92 shells, 0 hits
BOLZANO at Cape Teulada, 26 sehlls, 0 hits

Is it possible to verify these data?
Thanks in advance,
delc
