Italy's Navy: The Golden Age | Every Warship 1861–1918

From the wreckage of Lissa to the dreadnoughts of the First World War, Italy's navy produced some of the most original warship designs in history on a fraction of the budget of Britain or France. This is the complete catalog. Every class. Every era. Benedetto Brin built battleships that scared the Royal Navy. Vittorio Cuniberti wrote the blueprint for the modern dreadnought, Britain built it and took the credit. The Garibaldi-class cruiser sold to four different navies and fought at Tsushima. Italy invented the all-centerline triple turret arrangement the entire world would copy. They were underfunded. They were underestimated. They were almost always ahead. 39 ship classes. 57 years. One golden age.
