Overview
Under the 1928–1929 program, four cruisers of the new Zara class featuring a 150 mm armor belt were to be built to counter the French cruisers, which had 203 mm artillery. Lead ship Zara was laid down in 1929. Three years later, she entered service and became the flagship of the 1st Squadron. The cruiser led the cover of the Italian landing force in Durres. During World War II, she participated in the battle near Punta Stilo, where she was attacked by her own air force. In a battle near Cape Matapan, Zara was attacked by British forces and sunk by destroyer HMS Jervis.
