#55 Cigno - Italy - READY FOR CARD

Thats my bad, i musr have coppied the wrong stats. Ill fix it up

Stats are updated

She didn't do much in the Maritza convoy action except lay smoke and survive. The whole convoy was sunk, but the escort was massively outnumbered.

She didn't do much in the Belluno convoy action either, although her stand with Cigno did keep the two Brit DD's away from the convoy. she again survived, just barely this time. According to my details it was Cigno (sunk for her troubles) that did most of the damage to the Brit DD.

So...Lay Smoke Screen, some convoy protection/escort SA, and some survivor/stalwart SA?

Maybe do her sister ship Cigno instead with something like 'Act of Defiance' as she crippled the British DD Parthian with her last shots as she was split in two and sinking.

Proposal was to cigno
