MAS 452??

Not only the caption on the infobox should be corrected, but also the file's name. What the pic actually shows is one of the smaller MT explosive motorboats (MTMs) that attempted to broke into the Grand Harbour that night, and not MAS 452.--Darius (talk) 22:52, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Title

It isn't really a battle, perhaps 'Attack on Grand Harbour' would be better? Keith-264 (talk) 19:32, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tried 'Raid on...' to go with the Raid on Alexandria (1941). Expanded and revised somewhat, think it relied too much on one source but it's Italian which redresses the Anglocentric bias that is hard to avoid in other articles. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 10:43, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, Caruana is Maltese not Italian, sorry mate. Keith-264 (talk) 06:37, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just seen, when I created this article I dabbled on what it should be called. Thanks for the input - also User:RovingPersonalityConstruct added content from Caruana as one source. Eastfarthingan (talk) 11:53, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, the meat of the article was already here so the rest has been easy. I want to use Caruna for more detail on the MTM etc once I have the time. How are you keeping? Regards Keith-264 (talk) 16:42, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, definitely the most concentrated of information so far. I'm very good thanks, hope you're keeping well?? Eastfarthingan (talk) 21:05, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
