During the course of the action, in which HMS Edinburgh also participated...
An error. Edinburgh was sunk in the Barents Sea in May 1942 while famously carrying a load of Russian gold. The next HMS Edinburgh in commission was the Type 42 launched in 1983 and still in service. The other cruiser engaged with Glasgow was the light cruiser Enterprise. In the action the two cruisers sank three and damaged four out of eleven German destroyers.
