Italian battleship Impero

''Impero'' was the fourth built for Italy's ''Regia Marina'' (Royal Navy) during the Second World War. She was the fourth ship of her class and was named after the Italian word for "empire," in this case referring to the newly (1936) conquered Italian Empire in East Africa (Somaliland, Eritrea and Ethiopia territories) as a result of the Second Italo-Abyssinian War. She was constructed under the order of the 1938 Naval Expansion Program, along with her sister ship ''Roma''.
''Impero'' was laid down in May 1938 and launched in November 1939. The entrance of Italy into World War II forced the ''Regia Marina'' to refocus its construction priorities on escort warships, which meant that ''Impero'' would not be completed. After Italy surrendered to the Allies on 8 September 1943, the rest of the Italian Navy steamed to Sardinia to rendezvous with their American contemporaries. ''Impero'' was still incomplete in Trieste and was captured by the Germans, who used her for target practice. Sunk by Allied bombers in February 1945, she was refloated in 1947 and scrapped in Venice from 1948 to 1950.
==Background==
:''For additional information, see ''
The Italian leader Benito Mussolini did not authorize any large naval rearmament until 1933. Once he did, two old battleships of the were sent to be modernized in the same year, and and were laid down in 1934. In May 1935, the Italian Naval Ministry began preparing for a five-year naval building program that would include four battleships, three aircraft carriers, four cruisers, fifty-four submarines, and forty smaller ships. In December 1935, Admiral Domenico Cavagnari proposed to Mussolini that, among other things, two more battleships of the ''Littorio'' class be built to attempt to counter a possible Franco-British alliance—if the two countries combined forces, they would easily outnumber the Italian fleet. Mussolini postponed his decision, but later authorized planning for the two ships in January 1937 for the 1938 Naval Expansion Program. In December, they were approved and money was appropriated for them; they were named and ''Impero''.〔Knox, p. 20〕〔Garzke & Dulin, p. 404〕
