The largest and most
powerful warships ever built in Italy,
the battleships of the Littorio class, were the first “35,000 tonners”
to come under the provisions of the Washington Treaty. Although the
Washington Navel Conference of 1922 gave Italy the authority to build up to
182,800 tons of new capital ships (including 70,000 tons prior to 1932), the
Italians waited more than a decade before beginning construction.
The RN Vittorio Veneto was commissioned 1 May
1940. Her first mission of World War II came 31 August 1940 as part of
the concentration of the Italian battleships to put to sea during the
war. She participated in a mission to challenge the British Mediterranean
Fleet based at
Alexandria, Egypt. The RN Vittorio
Veneto was inactive until November 1940. The last combat mission was
The Convoy Battle in June 1942. The ship was sent to
Genoa
for repairs where it remained and was later returned to
La
Spezia. There she was to
remain until the Italian surrender in September 1943. She was decommissioned on
3 January 1948. The Paris Peace Treaty ceded the ship to
Great Britain;
the British government permitted the Italians to scrap her. This was done
in
La Spezia during
1948-1950.
