The First Italian Legendary Ship is Here

The Italian Navy, also known as Regia Marina, finally makes its debut at the Legendary tier! Featuring as the ultimate prize of a free Bureau project, cruiser Napoli brings a whole lot of interesting wrinkles to the heat of battle. Those include high speed paired with great concealment combo, Exhaust Smoke Generator, which is a signature consumable of Italian ships, and Semi-Armor-Piercing shells for her secondary caliber gun batteries. That’s a very solid selection of battle-ready options: consider getting this armored monster!
