Four battleships and eight heavy cruisers were available, with three more battleships fitting out. However, there were (initially) no aircraft carriers, not least because the Regia Marina was intended to operate near friendly air bases in Italy and Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs might be expected of a force operating amongst the islands of the Mediterranean, light forces were quite numerous, including 14 light cruisers, 128 destroyers, and 62 Motor Torpedo Boats, a weapon much favoured by the Italians and well-suited to local conditions. No fewer than 115 submarines were available. The most important Italian naval base was at Taranto, home of the battleship forces. Lighter groups were based out of ports on the Italian mainland, Sicily, and in the Red Sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Regia Marina's primary role was to disrupt British logistics and trade across the Mediterranean and to keep Axis lines of communication to North Africa open. Major actions with the Royal Navy were neither desirable nor really necessary to achieve this mission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBox contains:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Aquila-class Aircraft Carrier – Aquila\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Conte di Cavour-class Battleship – Conte di Cavour 1940\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Etna-class Cruiser – Etna 1942\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Zara-class Cruiser – Pola 1940\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Luigi Cadorna-class Cruiser – Luigi Cadorna 1940\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Navigatori-class Destroyer x3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Torpedo Bomber Aircraft – Flights Reggiane RE.2001 Falco II x4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Ship Cards and Damage Sliders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Assembly instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModels supplied unassembled and unpainted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Warlord Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48017730830579,"sku":"122259","price":100.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/8699\/8771\/files\/122259-regia-marina-fleet-box-742411003-1.webp?v=1781198464","url":"https:\/\/radaddel.de\/en\/products\/regia-marina-fleet-box","provider":"Radaddel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
