	Battle of Taranto - Iridis Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		At the time this "fleet-in-being" was fairly powerful, the harbor at Taranto contained six battleships (although one was not battle-worthy), seven heavy cruisers and two light cruisers, and eight destroyers.
		During the attacks the battleship Littorio was hit by three torpedoes, while the battleships Conte di Cavour and Caio Duilio were both hit by one each, while a cruiser in the inner harbor had been damaged by bombs.
		The Italian fleet was mortally wounded, and the next day their undamaged ships were transferred to naval bases farther north to protect them from similar attacks in the future.

		Caio Duilio and Andrea Doria were built as 21 knot dreadnoughts, with powerful armament but very little protection.

		The primary Italian concern now is another enemy torpedo-plane raid and Iachino is understandably furious at the lack of support from both the Luftwaffe and Regia Aeronautica stating “I felt pretty well deceived by the lack of co-operation.
		Deciding that the unknown contact is a stopped battleship, Pridham-Whippell opts to pass his force around the mysterious vessel’s north side and continue the primary pursuit.
		The general superiority of Italian ships and the extraordinary skill and determination shown by their officers and crew are simply too handicapped by internal issues.

		Cunningham's fleet, consisting of four old battleships, one obsolete aircraft carrier, nine cruisers, twenty five destroyers and twelve submarines, was now outnumbered by the Italians alone, whose fleet numbered six battleships (two brand new), nineteen cruisers, around seventy-five destroyers and smaller escorts, and one hundred and thirteen submarines.
		The Italians moved their remaining battleships north to Naples, and the British were able to move about the Mediterranean almost unmolested.
		The lull led to a resurgence of Italian confidence, On 25th March, ULTRA intercepts revealed that the Italians were planning a strike on British convoys transporting troops to Greece.

		That night all of the six Italian battleships were in the Taranto harbour; the Royal Navy planned a daring action: two strikes of torpedo-carrying Swordfish aircraft took off from carrier Illustrious, that approached undetected to within 170 miles of Taranto.
		Italians countered the convoy with light units from Sicily, supported by air attacks and a cruiser division, near the island of Pantelleria with success this time: just 2 freighters survived of attacks and delivered their supplies to Malta.
		Italians decided to preserve the remaining fleet, because of the total lack of fuel, for a final, huge and hopeless battle against the coming Allied forces in order to save at least the honour before being defeated.

		“Battleship 1917.” The Colorado was a duplicate of the previous design in every respect except for the adoption of twin 16”/45 caliber individual sleeve turrets in place of the triple 14”/50 caliber units.
		While only two ships were authorized for “Battleship 1915,” three were in fact built, with the last a result of a monetary windfall for the USN in the sale of two predreadnoughts to Greece.
		The last five battleships were placed into reserve where they remained until disposed of in 1959, thus outlasting their every rival, including Nelson and Rodney as well as newer ships such as the Vittorio Veneto's and the King George V’s.

	THE BISMARCK CLASS
		The Dante Alighieri class of battleships were the first battleships in the world to have the triple turrets down the centerline. They were also Italy ’s first dreadnoughts. Although she was faster than most of her contemporaries, she had relatively weak armor, which would later become typical of all Italian ships
		The Caio Duilio class of battleships were powerful and fast battleships. They sacrificed armor for speed and powerful weapons. These ships were comparable in power to the Arkansas class of ships, but were much faster than they were.
		The Caracciolo class of battleships were neverbuilt. Work on them were suspended in 1916, in order to concentrate on building destroyers, submarines, and other light craft. Work on them resumed in 1919, but was stopped once again in 1920. They were all scrapped by 1922.

		The second “Standard Type” battleship design was the USS Pennsylvania (BB-38)--a.k.a “ Battleship 1913 and Battleship 1914 ”--which actually represented a development of a scheme considered for “ Battleship 1912.” The Pennsylvania sported four triple, single sleeve turrets, vice Nevada’s two triples and two twins.
		The fifth and last “Standard Type” design was the USS Colorado (BB-45)--a.k.a “ Battleship 1917.” The Colorado was a duplicate of the previous design in every respect except for the adoption of twin 16”/45 calibre individual sleeve turrets in place of the triple 14”/50 calibre units.
		The Caio Duilio suffered an almost identical hit at Taranto with almost identical results, being returned to service only by virtue of sinking in shallower water than Conte di Cavour.

		In 1939 Italian operations in North Africa, centered on Libya, required resupply from the Italian mainland.
		This put the Italian fleet was in an excellent position to cut off supplies to the British forces.
		So instead of direct action, the Italians left their ships safely in harbor, leaving the mere threat of a sortie to cause the British serious problems.

		Andrea Doria was half of the two-ship Caio Duilio battleship class, which was very similar to the previous Conte di Cavour class.

		The Italian Navy was dependent on their German allies for fuel oil and could only sortie when the Germans gave them enough oil to do so.

		Take the battleship Yamato, the pride of WWII japanese Fleet, when it went on its suicide mission against the US fleet at Okinawa it took, IIRC, somewhere around 12 torpedo hit plus a large number of bombs before she finally went down.
		I hate replying to my own comment but I also thought of a british battleship, I believe she was the Prince of Whales, that was constructed during the late 1920's-early 30's.
		Basically a double hull was constructed and the outer hull could be flooded with water in effect adding alot of armor as water can quite easily absorb the blast impacts while staying under the tonnage restrictions (as long as her outer hull wasn't flooded).
