Duca degli Abruzzi
Cruiser projects of the 1932–1933 program had a tendency to increase armor protection, which resulted in reduced speed. It led to the creation of one of the most successful projects out of the pre-war Italian cruisers. Duca degli Abruzzi was laid down in December 1933. During World War II, she participated in battles at Punta Stilo and Cape Matapan, intercepted a convoy in Operation Halberd, and saw much more action. At the end of 1941, she was hit by a torpedo and was sent to be repaired. After the war, the cruiser remained in the Italian Navy, later becoming its flagship.
