July 9, 1940: HMS Warspite scored one of the longest range gunnery hits from a moving ship to a moving target in history. During the Battle of Calabria, a 15-inch projectile from Warspite hit the Italian battleship Giulio Cesare from a distance of almost 15 miles. Impressive! The ship bombarded German positions during the Normandy landings and on Walcheren Island in 1944, despite not being fully repaired. These actions earned her the most battle honours ever awarded to an individual ship in the Royal Navy. For this and other reasons, Warspite gained the nickname the "Grand Old Lady" after a comment made by Admiral Sir Andrew Cunningham in 1943 while she was his flagship.

This plot shows the average number of days per year with daily maximum temperatures ≥95°, ≥100° and ≥105° per USHCN station since 1895. The trend is down. I doubt you'll see this reported anywhere in the msm.
