VITTORIO VENETO BATTLESHIP MODEL
Vittorio
Veneto was a member of the Littorio-class battleship
that served in the Italian Regia Marina during World War
II. The ship was launched in July 1937, and readied for
service in August 1940. She was armed with a main
battery of nine 15 in guns in three triple turrets,
and could steam at a speed of 30 knots.
Vittorio
Veneto saw extensive service during the war. The
battleship
escaped undamaged during the British raid on Taranto in
November 1940. Early in the war, she participated in the
Battle of Cape Spartivento in November 1940 and the
Battle of Cape Matapan in March 1941 where she was
damaged by a torpedo bomber, and then she was torpedoed
by the British submarine HMS Urge in December 1941. She
spent 1941 and early 1942 attempting to attack British
convoys to Malta, but crippling fuel shortages in the
Italian fleet curtailed activity thereafter.
Battleship
Vittorio Veneto was among
the Italian ships that were surrendered to the Allies in
September 1943 after Italy withdrew from the war. She spent the
following three years under British control in Egypt.
After the war, she was allocated as a war prize to
Britain and subsequently broken up for scrap.
