Yugoslav Destroyer Dubrovnik
''Dubrovnik'' was a flotilla leader built for the Royal Yugoslav Navy by Yarrow Shipbuilders in Glasgow in 1930 and 1931. She was one of the largest destroyers of her time. Resembling contemporary British designs, ''Dubrovnik'' was a fast ship with a main armament of four Czechoslovak-built Škoda guns in single mounts. She was intended to be the first of three flotilla leaders built for Yugoslavia, but was the only one completed. During her service with the Royal Yugoslav Navy, ''Dubrovnik'' undertook several peacetime cruises through the Mediterranean, the Turkish Straits and the Black Sea. In October 1934, she conveyed King Alexander to France for a state visit, and carried his body back to Yugoslavia following his assassination in Marseille. During the German-led Axis invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941, ''Dubrovnik'' was captured by the Italians. After a refit, which included the replacement of some of her weapons and the shortening of her mainmast and funnels, she ...

Italian World War II Destroyers
The Italian destroyers of World War II comprised a mix of old warship designs dating from World War I and some of the most modern of their type in the world. These destroyers (Italian: ''cacciatorpediniere'') also varied in size from enlarged torpedo-boats to ''esploratori'' (an Italian designation for large destroyers approaching light cruiser size). During the war, Italian destroyers were responsible for the safe flow of convoys to supply the Axis armies in North Africa and for the suppression of British submarines. 71 Italian destroyers served during World War II (including those captured from Yugoslavia and France). 43 of these were sunk during the war against the Allies. After Italy surrendered to the Allies, a further 15 destroyers were sunk by the Germans or scuttled to prevent capture. 13 destroyers survived the war, most of which were ceded to France and the Soviet Union. 5 were retained by the postwar Marina Militare. Design evolution The operational are ...

Red Sea Flotilla
The Red Sea Flotilla (''Flottiglia del mar rosso'') was part of the ''Regia Marina Italia'' (Italian Royal Navy) based at Massawa in the colony of Italian Eritrea, part of Italian East Africa. During World War II, the Red Sea Flotilla was active against the East Indies Station of the Royal Navy from the Italian declaration of war on 10 June 1940 until the fall of Massawa on 8 April 1941. The squadron was isolated from the main Italian bases in the Mediterranean by distance and British dispositions. The British capture of Massawa and other Italian ports in the region ended the Italian naval presence in the region in April 1941. Purpose and organisation On 10 June 1940, the Red Sea Flotilla had seven destroyers in two squadrons, a squadron of five Motor Torpedo Boats (MAS, ''Motoscafo Armato Silurante'') and eight submarines in two squadrons. The main base was at Massawa, with other bases at Assab (also in Eritrea) and Kismayu, in southern Italian Somaliland. The Red Sea Flotill ...

French Destroyer Panthère
The French destroyer ''Panthère'' was a built for the French Navy during the 1920s. Aside from cruises to the English Channel and the French West Indies, she spent her entire career in the Mediterranean Sea. The ship was assigned to the Torpedo School at Toulon in 1932 and remained there until World War II began in September 1939. She was then assigned convoy escort duties in the Atlantic and was being refitted when the Battle of France began in May 1940. After the surrender of France a month later, ''Panthère'' was reduced to reserve. When the Germans attempted to seize the French fleet there in November 1942, she was one of the few ships that was not scuttled and was captured virtually intact. The Germans later turned her over to the Royal Italian Navy (''Regia Marina'') who renamed her ''FR 22'' when they recommissioned her in early 1943. The ship was scuttled when Italy surrendered in September and scrapped after the war. Design and description The ''Chacal''-class sh ...

Oriani-class Destroyer
The ''Oriani'' class (also known as the Poeti class), were a group of four destroyers built for the (Royal Italian Navy) in the mid-1930s. They were improved versions of the s and had increased machinery power and a different anti-aircraft armament. The increase in power, however, disappointed in that there was only a marginal speed improvement. The obsolete 40 mm/39 pom-pom anti-aircraft guns were finally discontinued, being replaced by extra machine guns; otherwise armament was unchanged. Modifications Significant upgrades were made to the weapons systems of the two ships that survived Matapan, similar to those made to the ''Maestrale''s. One torpedo tube mounting was replaced by two /54 guns; cannon, a 120 mm star-shell gunCampbell, pp. 335–338 and depth charge throwers were also installed. Before the end of the war, one ship, ''Oriani'' had a German Seetakt radar and an additional 20 mm cannon. Ships All four ships were built by O.T.O. Livorno Livorno ( ...
