	Regia Marina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Regia Marina attacked with insidious weapons: MAS 21 and MAS 15 sank the Hungarian battleship SMS Szent István in the Adriatic sea on 10 June 1918; an early type of human torpedo (Mignatta) entered the harbour of Pola and sank the Austro-Hungarian flagship Viribus Unitis on 1 November 1918.
		When Italy entered World War II on 10 June 1940 Regia Marina was the fourth largest navy in the world and had a mix of modernised and new battleships.
		In 1943, Benito Mussolini was deposed and the Italians agreed an armistice with the Allies.

	Cape Matapan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Before long these convoys are seen as opportunistic targets for the Regia Marina (Italian Navy) that intervenes off Calabria on July 9, 1940; but when the Italian flagship is hit from the escorting Warspite 13 miles away the Italians are shaken and break contact.
		With the Regia Aeronautica lacking maritime combat experience and the Regia Marina without suitable night fighting capabilities or aircraft carriers¹, the support is extremely beneficial.
		The Regia Marina will remain in harbor until August, 1941 and for the remainder of the war they will not directly confront the allies in force.

		Regia Marina always strives to give the modeler as many options as is historically accurate in building one of their models.
		As is true with other models from Regia Marina, except for the smallest guns, AA guns have a resin mount and photo-etched barrels and gun apparatus.
		Regia Marina presents a well thought out and very well executed model of the best of the Italian light cruisers of World War Two.

	Comando Supremo: Explosive Motor Boats (EMB's)
		Many "Armchair Admirals" have considered the Regia Marina as unwilling to fight, but there were many factors why major Italian warships kept confrontation with enemy warships to a minimum.
		The Regia Marina's strategy of confrontation was developed from knowing their shortcomings.
		They relied heavily on their submarines, torpedo boats and EMB's as the assault force of the Regia Marina and saved the larger warships for convoy escorts to and from North Africa.

	Regio Esercito
		Military vehicles used Military Service plates until 1927, then, as all normal civil plates, their plates totally changed: they remained white, with red letters and a fl serial number, but new codes were introduced for the different corps.
		Motorcycles had also a front plate in addition to the normal rear plate: it was placed over the front mudguard and for this reason had a round shape, and had the prints on both sides, as you can see in the picture number 11, though its quality is very poor.
		Anyway Regio Esercito was not the only that had front plates for motorcycles: the same happened also for the motorbikes of the Regia Marina, of the Milizia della Strada and of the Decima MAS.

		As far as I know the history of the plates of Regia Marina is the same of those of Regio Esercito.
		Guglielmo Evangelista wrote me that he found out that the vehicles that were requisitioned by Regia Marina during the Second War due to the increased needs had a plate with RM followed by a serial number starting from 1, but he hasn't got any clear picture yet.
		The last two pictures show two plates for motorcycle of Regia Marina: they had a front plate mounted on the mudguard exactly like the Regio Esercito.

	REGGIANE RE 2000 FALCO (HAWK): THE REGIA AERONAUTICA "AMERICAN"
		It was thus no less surprising that the aircraft was rejected by the Regia Aeronautica, on the basis that the internal wing fuel tanks were too vulnerable and were not of the self-sealing type.
		Turning to the operational service of the RE 2000 with the Regia Aeronautica, it is worth remembering that only in 1941 it was decided to organize a unit to test operationally the plane.
		As a further proof of its capabilities, the Regia Marina (Italian Royal Navy), having the need of replacing the old Ro 43 biplane as a ship-board catapult fighter, and after examining several options, selected the RE 2000, which was developed in a special version to be launched by catapult.

		1945-1986: plates of Marina Militare (it was called Regia Marina before the Second World War: it means Royal Navy) had the same numbering format from 1927 to 1986.
		They had the letters MM in red followed by 5 digits: the first showed the naval base where the vehicle came from, as you can see in the first table below, the second was always 0 and then the last three were the number of the vehicle.
		I want to thank very much Marcello Taverna for all the pictures, except for the number 7 and 8 for which I have to thank Paolo Troncatti and Stefano Lucchi.

		The Regia Marina, within the limits set by these agreements, laid down the torpedo boats of the Spica class with a standard displacement of 630 tons.
		Later on, it was recognized that ships of this type had to have a greater fuel capacity so to remain for a longer time at sea.
		During the period between 1925 and 1940, the Regia Marina dedicated large resources to the strengthening of its submarine forces, which resulted in the deployment of 50 large, 89 medium, 2 cargo and 50 small units.

	Aquila
		Though air-minded Italy was thought to be an "unsinkable aircraft carrier", co-ordination between land-based air defense, land-based air reconnaisance, and the Fleet was poor at best, and in some ways the "cause" of several of the Regia Marina's defeats.
		Though slowed by the material and manpower demands of the war, the Aquila was ready for trials in mid-1942 and with the Littorio-class battleship Roma proudly joined the Regia Marina in January of 1943.
		The addition of the two ships breathed new life into the Regia Marina, but the war was turning against them too quickly.

	Italian Naval Massacre
		It was called Mare Nostrum (Our Sea) by Benito Mussolini and his Fascist stalwarts, but the Italian navy, or Regia Marina, still understood it was an open question as to who would rule the Mediterranean in 1941.
		In fact, Operation Gaudo, a plan to sweep the Royal Navy from the waters surrounding Crete, was intended to demonstrate, after a number of one-sided encounters, that the Italians were still a force to be reckoned with.
		The deteriorating military situation in Africa and Greece in 1941, however, made it clear that some offensive response by the Regia Marina was necessary if these theaters were to remain viable for the Axis powers.

	Second World War Books: Review
		Although their book gets off to a slow start and ends with some less than rousing conclusions, authors Greene and Massignani have produced a very useful study of the topic defined by its title.
		Actually, it could be subtitled "From the Italian Point of View" because, while the other combatants are not ignored, the Regia Marina and Regia Aeronautica take center stage-- exactly as the writers intend.
		Because Italy did not have an independent naval air arm, cooperation between the Regia Marina and Regia Aeronautica was clumsy at best.
