Italian Beauty: Vittorio Veneto 🇮🇹 + (Shipgirl Suggestions?)

Added 2025-08-06 16:06:04 +0000 UTC

Fun Fact:

The real Vittorio Veneto was involved in the Battle of Cape Matapan in March 1941, where she was the only Italian battleship present. She took a torpedo hit from a British Swordfish biplane launched from HMS Formidable; it damaged her enough to slow her down and force her to withdraw.

That single hit led to the Italians losing three heavy cruisers and two destroyers later that night because the rest of the fleet tried to cover her retreat and got ambushed in the dark by the Royal Navy battleships with radar. Vittorio Veneto herself managed to limp back to port, badly damaged but still afloat.

She survived the entire war.

As expected of the flagship of the Sardegna Empire ヽ(￣ω￣(￣ω￣〃)

(What do you think of this kind of post, where I make a tasteful render of the shipgirls and include a fun-fact about them? For the next few days, I'll be staying over at my family's home in my hometown, so I can't exactly go full NSFW with kids around. If you have any suggestion for who I should do next, do comment down below and let me know!)
