Hi, not all the italian ships were hold in Egypt, at the moment and without my docs, I can say that only Vittorio Veneto and Littorio were kept there, but in any case the command of the ships was hold by Italian officers.
About the shells I think that all the ships were full loaded, but low in oil level on the tanks, during the war there were no problem in ammo supply, just oil shortage.
Caio Duilio and Andrea Doria went back in Italy but I should check before to say if they took part in any action, may be this evening I'll be more accurate.
Cruisers Garibaldi and Abruzzi were sent in south Atlantic to patrol the merchants routes to and from south Africa.
Hope this helps
