Littorio being damaged by a Fritz-X radio guided bomb on the way, at which time
sistership Roma was sunk with heavy loss of life.
The 4th unit was named Impero, she was suspended in 1941 when she was still a
long way from completion and scrapped postwar.
Neither ship which reached Malta was used by the Allies, both were sent to the Suez
area and moored in the Great Bitter Lake, remaining there well past the end of the
war. The Peace Treaty allocated one each to the UK and the US, both refused
delivery and they were scrapped in Italy between 1948-50.
More Pic's and INF will be added later.
Enjoy.
