You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.192.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪SQL‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:50, 14 January 2027. Your current IP address is 44.192.106.213.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Bersagliere''''' was one of nineteen {{sclass2|Soldati|destroyer}}s built for the {{lang|it|[[Regia Marina]]}} (Royal Italian Navy) in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Completed in early 1939, she was one of the last of the first batch of a dozen ships to enter service.

==Design and description==
The Soldati-class destroyers were slightly improved versions of the preceding {{sclass|Oriani|destroyer|4}}.<ref>Brescia, p. 127</ref> They had a [[length between perpendiculars]] of {{convert|101.6|m|ftin|sp=us}}<ref name=g0/> and an [[length overall|overall length]] of {{convert|106.7|m|ftin|sp=us}}. The ships had a [[beam (nautical)|beam]] of {{convert|10.15|m|ftin|sp=us}} and a mean [[draft (hull)|draft]] of {{convert|3.15|m|ftin|sp=us}} and {{convert|4.3|m|ftin|sp=us}} at [[deep load]].<ref name=w9>Whitley, p. 169</ref> The Soldatis displaced {{convert|1830|-|1850|t|LT|sp=us|lk=on}} at normal load, and {{convert|2450|-|2550|t|LT|sp=us}} at deep load.<ref name=b8>Brescia, p. 128</ref> Their wartime complement during was 206 officers and enlisted men.<ref name=g0>Roberts, p. 300</ref>

''Bersagliere'' was powered by two Belluzzo geared [[steam turbine]]s, each driving one propeller shaft using steam supplied by three [[Yarrow boiler]]s.<ref name=g0/> Designed for a maximum output of {{convert|48000|shp|lk=on}} and a speed of {{convert|34|-|35|kn|lk=in}} in service, the Soldati-class ships reached speeds of {{convert|39|-|40|kn}} during their [[sea trial]]s while lightly loaded. They carried enough [[fuel oil]] to give them a range of {{convert|2340|nmi|lk=in}} at a speed of {{convert|14|kn}} and {{cvt|682|nmi}} at a speed of {{convert|34|kn}}.<ref name=b8/>

''Bersagliere''{{'}}s [[main battery]] consisted of four 50-[[caliber (artillery)|caliber]] [[120 mm Italian naval gun#50-calibre OTO 1936|{{convert|120|mm|in|sp=us|adj=on}}]] guns in two twin-[[gun turret]]s, one each fore and aft of the [[superstructure]]. On a platform [[amidships]] was a 15-caliber [[120 mm Italian naval gun#15-calibre OTO 1933 and 1934|120-millimeter]] [[star shell]] gun.<ref name=f8>Fraccaroli, p. 55</ref> [[Anti-aircraft warfare|Anti-aircraft (AA) defense]] for the Soldatis was provided by eight [[Breda Model 35|{{convert|20|mm|1|adj=on|sp=us}} Breda Model 1935]] guns.<ref name=b8/> The ships were equipped with six {{convert|533|mm|in|adj=on|sp=us|0}} [[torpedo tube]]s in two triple mounts amidships. Although they were not provided with a [[sonar]] system for [[anti-submarine warfare|anti-submarine work]], they were fitted with a pair of [[depth charge]] throwers. The ships could carry 48 [[naval mine|mines]].<ref name=g0/>

==Service==
In early 1943, Italian destroyers, including ''Bersagliere'', took part in regular supply missions to [[Tunisia]], taking replacement troops from Italy to Africa and carrying wounded and [[Prisoners of War]] back to Italy on the return trips.<ref name="roh92p188">Rohwer and Hümmelchen 1992, p. 188</ref> On 7 January, ''Bersagliere'' was bombed and sunk in [[Palermo]] harbour during an air raid by American [[Consolidated B-24 Liberator|B-24 bombers]].<ref name="roh92p188"/><ref>Shores ''et al.'', p. 690.</ref>
