This discussion has already happened at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (ships). The move is a techical problem because of an edit history on the target page HMS P311 which is a redirect page to HMS P.311 Philip Baird Shearer 13:03, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

IMHO the edit history is really not worth keeping! I created the original page here and them moved it there for a while when it appeared that the convention was to exclude the dot, and finally back here again when I noticed that Churchill used the dot in his memos. It just needs moving back there again... --Jll 20:56, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)


 * All page histories should be kept. I'll merge it in when it's technically possible again, but for now I've done the move. violet/riga (t) 22:40, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)


 * I've finished merging the page history; the history is now fully reconstructed. No more cut-and-paste moves, everyone! Noel (talk) 01:43, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

P 311, 1.090 tons (gennaio 1943)

Uscì da Malta la sera del 28 dicembre 1942 per attaccare, con i due mezzi speciali d’assalto Chariot 10 e Chariot 18, gli incrociatori pesanti italiani della 3a Divisione, Trieste e Gorizia, che erano stati localizzati all’ancora nella base della Maddalena (operazione “Principle”).

Il 30 dicembre lasciò Malta anche l’Unison (tenente di vascello Anthony Robert Daniell) per svolgere l’incarico di sommergibile recupero dei mezzi speciali a largo della Maddalena, ma sebbene esso avesse raggiunto il punto previsto di appuntamento, stabilito nel Golfo dell’Asinara, non trovò niente e rientrò a Malta il 16 gennaio 1943.

Il P 311 (capitano di fregata Richard Douglas Cayley) aveva segnalato la sua ultima posizione alle ore 18.30 del 30 dicembre, in lat. 38°10’N. long. 11°30’E, e non si conosce se abbia potuto mettere in mare i suoi due mezzi speciali.

La Historical Section Admiraly ritiene che il sommergibile sia finito su un banco minato nelle vicinanze della Maddalena intorno al 2 gennaio. Con l’equipaggio del P 311, costituito da 61 uomini, inclusi 5 ufficiali, andarono perduti anche 10 operatori degli Chariot, compresi altri 5 ufficiali.

Recovered yet?
RN said to be recovering the wreck, but nothing four years later? Little grape (talk) 00:43, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
