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 75.101.128.0/17 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ 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 05:39, 2 October 2024.

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.

'''SS ''Conte Rosso''''' was an Italian [[Transatlantic crossing|transatlantic]] [[ocean liner]] that was built in Scotland in 1921–22, became a [[Troopship|troop ship]] in the 1930s and was sunk by the [[submarine]] ((HMS|Upholder|P37|6)) in 1941.

She was named after [[Amadeus VII, Count of Savoy]], the so-called "Red Count", and was noted for her lavish Italian interior decoration. Because much of its sailing would be in warmer waters, the designers included an outdoor dining area, unusual for ships of this era.

''Conte Rosso'' had a [[sister ship]], ((SS|Conte Verde||2)).

==Building==
[[William Beardmore and Company]] built the ship in [[Dalmuir]], [[Glasgow]] for the Italian [[Lloyd Sabaudo]] Line. She was launched on 10 February 1921 and completed on 14 March 1922.<ref>((cite ship register |register=MSI |id=5605814 |shipname=Conte Rosso |accessdate=18 October 2020))</ref>

''Conte Rosso'' was ((cvt|570.2|ft|m|disp=flip)) long [[Length between perpendiculars|between perpendiculars]], had a beam of ((cvt|22.5|m|ft)) and her [[gross register tonnage]] was 17,857. She had four steam turbines driving two [[Propeller|screws]] by [[Gear train|double reduction gearing]].<ref name=LR30>((cite book |url= https://plimsoll.southampton.gov.uk/shipdata/pdfs/30/30b0285.pdf |year=1930 |title=Lloyd's Register, Steamers & Motorships |place=London |publisher=[[Lloyd's Register]] |accessdate=18 October 2020))</ref>

''Conte Rosso''(('))s [[code letters]] were NJVH<ref name=LR30/> until they were superseded in 1934 by the [[maritime call sign]] IBEI.<ref>((cite book |url= https://plimsoll.southampton.gov.uk/shipdata/pdfs/34/34b0214.pdf |year=1934 |title=Lloyd's Register, Steamers & Motorships |place=London |publisher=[[Lloyd's Register]] |accessdate=18 October 2020))</ref>

==Service history==
She entered service in 1922 carrying passengers between Italy and [[New York City]]. She was the first new transatlantic liner built after [[World War I]] and the largest Italian liner to date.

In 1928 she was replaced on the New York route by the newer ((SS|Conte Grande||2)) and began service between Italy and [[South America]].<ref>''[https://select.nytimes.com/mem/archive/pdf?res=F20716FC3B58167A93C5A81788D85F4C8285F9 The New York Times]''((dead link |date=October 2020))</ref>

In 1932 Lloyd Sabaudo merged with [[Navigazione Generale Italiana]] and [[Cosulich Line]] to form [[Italian Line|Flotte Riunite]]. Flotte Riunite transferred ''Conte Rosso'' to the [[Trieste]] – [[Mumbai|Bombay]] – [[Shanghai]] route. After 1933 this became one of the major escape routes for the Jewish population of Germany and Austria as Shanghai was one of the few places that did not require paid emigration visas.

''Conte Rosso'' served as an Italian [[Troopship|troop ship]] during the [[Second Italo-Ethiopian War]] in the 1930s.

==Incidents==
On 31 January 1925, 19-year-old Antonietta Gigliobianco mysteriously fell overboard from ''Conte Rosso'' to her death, orphaning her two-year-old son Ernesto. After he was turned over to the ship's [[chaplain]], a media outcry in New York City ensued, which reunited the boy with his father Leonardo Gigliobianco.

==Sinking==
In [[World War II]] the [[Fascist Italy (1922–1943)|Italian Government]] again used ''Conte Rosso'' as a troop ship. On 24 May 1941 the [[Royal Navy]] submarine ((HMS|Upholder|P37|6)) sank her by [[torpedo]] ((convert|16|km|nmi|0|abbr=in)) off the coast of [[Sicily]] while in convoy from [[Naples]] to [[Tripoli, Libya|Tripoli]]. Of the 2,729 soldiers and crew aboard, 1,297 were killed.
