Vittorio Veneto is an Italian battleship from the Second World War. The keel for this unit was laid in 1934, the launch took place in July 1937, and the entry into service in the Italian Regia Marina - in 1940. The full displacement of the ship at the time of launching was approx. 46,000 tons, 238 m long and 32.9 m wide. The maximum speed was up to 30 knots. The on-board armament consisted of: 9 381 mm guns in three turrets, 12 152 mm guns and 12 90 mm guns.

Vittorio Veneto was the second of the battleships to belong to the Littorio class. Another, not entirely correct, name of this type is Vittorio Veneto. The Littorio-class battleships were built by Regia Marine to outstrip the French navy in the Mediterranean Sea and were seen from the outset as the most powerful battleships in the Italian Navy. The new ships had strong and well-placed main weapons, good armor, and performance - especially top speed. They were also characterized by an avant-garde and atypical anti-torpedo defense system. Vittorio Veneto, shortly after entering service, was attacked by the Royal Navy at the port of Taranto in 1940, but fortunately avoided more serious damage. In 1940 it took part in the Battle of Cape Spartivento, and a year later - in the Battle of Cape Matapan, in which it was badly damaged. However, already in September 1941, the British convoy Halberd, sailing from Malta, was attacked. In December of the same year, it was damaged and sent for repairs to the port of La Spezia, where it was damaged again by the Allied air force in June 1942. In September 1943, along with the other Regia Marina ships, the battleship surrendered to the Allies and was interned in Egypt. In 1947 it was taken over by Great Britain as war reparations, but it did not enter active service and in 1948 it was removed from the fleet list, and shortly afterwards it was scrapped.
