Hallo Gerry,

This has to be the old Italian Armoured Cruiser San Giorgio. It was scuttled on 22 January 1941 when Tobruk was captured. It had been used as a floating battery to support the town's defences. Note the anti-torpedo nets and the background.

Would love to learn anything about his North African service !

Regards,

Martin Gleeson.
