Description

Victory at Sea: Regia Marina fleet box
At the time of Italy’s entry into World War Two, she possessed a modernand – on paper at least – highly effective fleet. Four battleships andeight heavy cruisers were available, with three more battleships being fittedout. However, there were no aircraft carriers (initially), not least because theRegia Marina was intended to operate near to friendly air bases in Italy andAfrica.

As might be expected from a force operating among the islands of theMediterranean, light forces were quite numerous, including 14 light cruisers,128 destroyers and 62 motor torpedo boats, which was a weapon favoured by theItalians and well suited to local conditions. No less than 115 submarines wereavailable. The main Italian naval base was at Taranto, home of the battleshipforce. Lighter groups were based out of ports on the Italian mainland, Sicilyand the Red Sea.

The Regia Marina was primarily tasked with interrupting British logistics andtrade through the Mediterranean, and with keeping the Axis nations’ links toNorth Africa open. Major actions with the Royal Navy were not desirable norreally necessary for this mission to be carried out.
