The reading was VERY interersting and I would like to quote that book in an article of mine. Who is the publisher? What year?

By the way it seems clear, by now, that Imperia was shelled that day by a french light cruiser with a destroyer. Now the point is: which cruiser and which destroyer? It had to be a 1.500 tonnes type. Can this info suggest someone the answer? the prize are two German gunbats sunk that day which can be added at the Marine Nationale roll of honours.

Salut

Hello Enrico.
I am not sure at all, but I think it must be an article or a chapter of this book:

For the rest I can't help
Could one of those ships be the "Montcalm" It's just a suggestion.
Kindly regards
Prosper
P.S. Je tiens à présenter toutes mes excuses à nos lecteurs pour l'emploi de la langue anglaise, mais notre ami Enrico est italien et bien qu'il sache lire et comprendre la langue de Molière il est beaucoup plus à l'aise en italien ou en anglais. Comme je ne maîtrise pas du tout la langue transalpine nous conversons donc dans la langue de Shakespeare

Lingua Latina etiam acceptanda est, naturaliter, cur Roma alma mater civitatis patronaque Europae est.

Vale
