The book is dedicated to the history of the Italian Navy (Regia Marina) during World War II – its unique features, shortcomings and originality.
The author analyzes the combat qualities of Italian ships, which, despite their aesthetic appeal and graceful silhouettes, were often inferior in effectiveness to the fleets of other powers.
Such problems as the low speed of ships in real combat conditions, deficiencies in the design of hulls, weak anti-aircraft artillery and the lack of radars, which significantly reduced the combat effectiveness of the fleet, are considered in detail.
Particular attention is paid to the structure and command of the Italian fleet, including a unique system of admiral ranks and a complex organization of squadrons. The author also talks about the reforms carried out during the war and their impact on the effectiveness of fleet management.
The book is based on historical sources, including reference books and memoirs, and offers the reader an in-depth analysis of the reasons why the Italian fleet was unable to achieve significant success in the war, despite its ambitions and potential.
This work will be of interest to both military history buffs and specialists studying naval battles and the strategy of World War II.
