The Italian Regia Marina light cruiser Alberico da Barbiano. Sunk at the Battle of Cape Bon while transporting supplied to Tripoli destinationsjourney.com/histor #maritimeHistory #NavalHistory #RegiaMarina #ItalianNavy #lightcruiser #cruiser #AlbericodaBarbiano

Built by Ansaldo at Genoa, Italy, Alberico da Barbiano was laid down on 16 April 1928, launched on 23 August 1930, and commissioned on 9 June 1931. As built, Alberico da Barbiano carried eight 152 mm/53 calibre main guns in four twin turrets, providing significant punch against surface opponents. Secondary armament comprised six 100 mm guns, while anti-aircraft defence included eight 37 mm guns and eight 13.2 mm machine guns. The cruiser also had four 533 mm torpedo tubes. She carried two seaplanes (initially CANT 25AR, later Ro.43) with a single catapult for reconnaissance. Armour was deliberately light, with a 20 mm deck, 24 mm belt, 23 mm turret plating, and a 40 mm conning tower, characteristic of Italian light cruisers prioritising agility over protection By late 1941 Axis supply lines to North Africa were strained. The Italian High Command ordered Alberico da Barbiano and her sister Alberto di Giussano to deliver desperately needed aviation fuel and supplies to Tripoli. Owing to urgency, fuel barrels were stowed on deck which drastically increased vulnerability. On 13 December 1941, while transiting near Cape Bon, Tunisia, they were intercepted by a force of British and Dutch destroyers using radar to locate their position. In a night engagement, torpedoes and gunfire struck both cruisers; Alberico da Barbiano was engulfed in fire and sank rapidly, with heavy loss of life including Rear Admiral Antonino Toscano and her captain.

Italian Battleship Duilio in September 1943 destinationsjourney.com/histor #maritimehistory #navalhistory #battleship #RegiaMarina #Duilio #ItalianNavy

The Italian battleship Duilio was one of two vessels of the Andrea Doria class, constructed for the Regia Marina during the First World War. Laid down in 1912 at the Castellammare di Stabia shipyard and commissioned in 1915, Duilio represented Italy’s effort to field modern dreadnought battleships capable of contesting control of the Mediterranean. Although completed during wartime, she saw no direct combat in the First World War, as the conflict at sea remained largely constrained by cautious fleet strategies on both sides. During the Second World War, Duilio served as part of the Italian battle fleet in the Mediterranean. In November 1940, she was present at Taranto when British carrier aircraft launched a surprise night attack on the Italian fleet. Duilio was struck by a torpedo that caused significant flooding, forcing her to be beached to prevent sinking. Repairs took several months, after which she returned to service in 1941. Despite her presence in several major fleet deployments, fuel shortages, strategic caution, and Allied air and naval superiority limited opportunities for decisive surface engagements. Following the Italian armistice in September 1943, Duilio sailed with other surviving battleships to Malta, where they were interned. After the war, she was retained briefly by the Italian Navy but saw no further active service. Decommissioned in 1953 and scrapped soon after.

Conte di Cavour after her 1937 refit destinationsjourney.com/histor #battleship #BattleshipConteDiCavour #ConteDiCavour #ItalianBattleship #ItalianNavy #Military #RegiaMarina #SecondWorldWar #warship #WorldWar2 #WorldWartwo #WW2 #WWII

The lead ship of her class of three dreadnought battleships (along with Giulio Cesare and Leonardo da Vinci), Conte Di Cavour was launched om 10 August 1911 and commissioned into the Italian Regia Marina on 1 April 1915. She saw no action during World War One. During World War Two, she took part in the Battle of Calabria on 9 June 1940 when, along with Giulio Cesare she engaged elements of the British Mediterranean Fleet. The Italian fleet retired when Giulio Cesare was hit by a shell from HMS Warspite. While in Taranto, Conte Di Cavour was struck by a torpedo during the British night attack of 11/12 November 1940. She was grounded to prevent her sinking the next morning. She was still undergoing repairs at Trieste on 8 September when Italy surrendered to the Allies. Although captured by the Germans they made no attempt to continue the repairs. She was damaged in an air raid on 17 February 1945, and capsized on 23 February. Refloated shortly after the end of the war, Conte di Cavour was scrapped in 1946.
