Historical background of the battleship RN Vittorio Veneto

The RN Vittorio Veneto was a Littorio-class battleship commissioned into service with the Italian Regia Marina in 1940, at the height of World War II. It was a modern battleship and the pride of the Italian fleet, taking part, among others, in the famous Battle of Cape Matapan in 1941. It was designed to counter the most powerful Royal Navy vessels in the Mediterranean. Vittorio Veneto was distinguished by advanced armor design, turbine propulsion, and powerful main artillery – three turrets with 381 mm caliber guns. It served until Italy’s capitulation in 1943 and was later seized by the Allies.
