Victory at Sea - Regia Marina

As might be expected from a force operating among the islands of the Mediterranean, The Regia Marina consisted mostly of light forces, including 14 light cruisers, 128 destroyers and 62 motor torpedo boats, which was a weapon favoured by the Italians and well suited to local conditions.

No less than 115 submarines were available. The main Italian naval base was at Taranto, home of the battleship force. Lighter groups were based out of ports on the Italian mainland, Sicily and the Red Sea.
