Victory at Sea - Regia Marina

As might be expected from a force operating among the islands of the Mediterranean, The Regia Marina consisted mostly of light forces, including 14 light cruisers, 128 destroyers and 62 motor torpedo boats, which was a weapon favoured by the Italians and well suited to local conditions.

No less than 115 submarines were available. The main Italian naval base was at Taranto, home of the battleship force. Lighter groups were based out of ports on the Italian mainland, Sicily and the Red Sea.

    Victory at Sea - Navigatori-class destroyers
    Originally classified as esploratori or scouts, this class was in response to the French contre-torpilleurs (destroyers) of the Jaguar and Guépard-classes. Trials with light displacement and overloaded machinery led to speeds of up to 43.5 knots. However, that could not be achieved under service...

    The Fiat G.50 Freccia was the first Italian low-wing monoplane fighter with an enclosed cockpit and retractable landing gear to go into production, though Italian pilots felt uncomfortable with the enclosed cockpit itself.
