Cheers for the offer Jim
Have been doing a little looking around at what she got up to during the war and so far this is what i have come up with.

She was present and damaged at the battle of Taranto.
Which led to her being towed to Genoa for repairs which took 6 months.
Then the next thing i can find is that she was Part of the close covering force at the first battle of Sirte .
Have had a quick look through the GWX manual and this battle is not scrpited into the game.
Wikipedia info on the battle.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Battle_of_Sirte

Close covering force - Rear Admiral Raffaele de Courten (on Duca d'Aosta):Distant covering force - Rear Admiral Angelo Parona (on Gorizia):Then when the armistice with the allies was signed in 1943 she was used as a training ship but i cant seem to find out where she was based.
