Oops if it's Eugenio di Savoia than it's already been guessed (sort of) - see Prinz Eugen above.
warspite1

Its not Eugenio di Savoia - but if it was then Prinz Eugen (a completely different ship) would not have counted!


Ah, but if it had been the EdS, then Prinz Eugen (of course a different ship) could also have been a correct answer and at the normal halving of the prize pool per hint provided, would still have garnered a cool 62,500 pounds !! (How come I don't have that funny 'L' symbol on my keyboard?) I'd have even of settled for an extra halving per correct answer.

Cheating now, Garibaldi?
warspite1

Is the correct answer. After the armistice, Garibaldi was one of the cruisers used to patrol the Atlantic.

I had to get a magnifying glass to read the script of the counter names off the computer!!!!

You did. I was giving my comment as a form of encouragement, as the last quiz - Garibaldi - was a little obscure.

Yes. I really thought I nailed the answer with Duca D'Aosta.

But it turns out I lack knowledge about Italian leaders.
