Italy's navy, the Regia Marina was the
fourth-largest naval force in the world at the outbreak of World War II,
and yet is often overlooked and largely discounted as ineffective. In
general the fleet was made up of obsolete vessels, lacked radar
functionality, and had a reputation for indiscipline and poorly trained
crews. The complex and bureaucratic command system imposed on the fleet
further hampered its effectiveness. This book details why the Italian
battleships were able to maintain a solid reputation, examining their
impressive designs and the courage and determination of the fleet at
Calabria, Sirte, Cape Spartiveto and Cape Matapan, all illustrated with
stunning photographs from the Italian Navy's own archives. New Vanguard
182; Stille; 48 pages.
