Description
Italian Battleships of World War II by Mark Stille explores the often-overlooked Italian Regia Marina, the fourth largest navy in the world at the start of World War II. Despite its size, the Italian fleet faced significant challenges, including outdated vessels and inadequate training, as well as limited command flexibility. Nevertheless, the Italian battleships earned a reputation for their design and bravery, particularly in key battles such as Punto Stilo/Calabria, Sirte, Cape Spartivento, and Cape Matapan. This book delves into the history of the Italian Navy's battleships, using stunning photographs from the Italian Navy's archives to bring their story to life.
