Description
The Italian Royal Navy's cruiser force played a significant role in World War II. Following the 1922 Washington Naval Treaty, Italy sought to expand its battleship fleet by building seven large heavy cruisers. Its light cruisers also featured an interesting design history and were involved in major Mediterranean engagements against the British Royal Navy. Fully illustrated with specially commissioned artwork, this book examines the history of the Regia Marina's cruisers during World War II. The Italian cruisers faced off against the might of the British Royal Navy in several key fleet encounters. This volume provides a detailed look at the Regia Marina's cruiser force and its experiences during the war. With its unique design history and significant role in Mediterranean naval engagements, this book offers a fascinating insight into the Italian Royal Navy's cruiser force during World War II.
