Trento

After World War I, the Italian armored cruisers, built at the beginning of the 20th century, became inadequate for the tasks at hand. Therefore, after determining the requirements of the Washington Naval Conference, the design of a new cruiser began. Two ships with high speed and 70 mm armor belts formed the Trento class. The lead cruiser was laid down in 1925. At the beginning of World War II, she saw action at Punta Stilo, Cape Teulada, and Cape Matapan. In all of her battles, Trento neither caused any damage to the enemy nor received any.
