  Battle of Calabria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Calabria, also known as the Battle of Punta Stilo, was a naval battle between ships of Italian Regia Marina and the British Royal Navy and Royal Australian Navy.
The battle occurred 30 miles to the east of Punta Stilo, the "toe" of Italy (Calabria), on 9 July 1940.
Some sources suggest that the Italians had turned to avoid battle as they were moving north when encountered, but in fact they planned to keep the action close to Italy and were deliberately moving north in order to draw the British closer to their airbases.

 Action off Calabria
The battle of Punta Stilo, as it should more properly be called, was the largest concentration of firepower in the Mediterranean war and is one of the most debated episodes of the struggle between the British and Italian fleets.
Also Punta Stilo should be defined as a battle because the forces involved where very large, including five capital ships and an aircraft carrier.
Defining Punta Stilo an encounter, rather than a battle, just because there were no major losses does not give credit to the commitment of the two fleets and especially their level of readiness and military skills.

 Action off Calabria - Part IV
As a matter of fact, it appears that the whole period 1940 through 1941 in the Mediterranean was systematically purged.
The historian James J.Sadkovich disagrees: according to his book "The Italian Navy in WW II", the British showed their inability to interdict Italian traffic to Libya, while the true Italian failure was in the long delays in getting the cargo off the ships.
Militarily speaking, Punta Stilo was a draw, but the Italians had shown that they could face the mighty Royal Navy.

 Second World War Books: Review
Naval battles such as Punta Stilo, Cape Spada, Taranto, Cape Spartivento, and Matapan receive thorough treatment in which the opposing forces are carefully measured (with much consideration given, for example, conflicting estimates of top speeds for each warship) and the blow by blow (or splash by splash) progress of operations charted.
The principal lesson of this action for the British was that an excessive amount of ammunition had been used, nearly 5000 rounds, and this sort of action would have to be conducted more economically in future.
The resulting shortage of ammunition, as well as the threat of Italian submarines, forced a delay in the sailing of the Malta convoys, and when they did finally go to sea, the battle of Punta Stilo would be the result.
