''Gorizia'' was an Italian Zara class heavy cruiser, which served in the Regia Marina during World War II. The ship was named after the city of Gorizia. She was the only surviving cruiser of her class after the Battle of Cape Matapan in 1941. ''Gorizia'' participated in World War II as a member of 1st Division, 1st Squadron. She took part in the Battle of Punta Stilo, the Battle of Taranto, where she shot down a British Swordfish torpedo bomber,〔(''La Notte di Taranto'' ) 〕 the Battle of Cape Teulada, where her Ro.43 floatplane spotted the British battle group,〔Greene & Masignani, p. 119〕 and the First and Second Battle of Sirte, where her guns hit two destroyers, HMS ''Kipling''〔Bragadin, p.149〕 and ,〔Thomas, David A. (1999). ''Malta Convoys''. Penn & Sword books, p. 149. ISBN 0-85052-663-9〕 inflicting minor damage on them. Some sources 〔Sadkovich, James (1994). ''The Italian Navy in World War II'', Greenwood Press, Westport, p. 245. ISBN 0-313-28797-X〕〔O'Hara, Vincent P. (2009). ''Struggle for the Middle Sea''. Naval Institute Press, Annapolis, Maryland, p. 168. ISBN 978-1-59114-648-3〕 claim that she also hit and severely damaged the destroyer HMS ''Kingston'', instead of the battleship ''Littorio'' as widely reported. Among her other missions, there were escorts to Italian and German convoys, for a total of 20 operations accomplished.〔(''Gorizia'' ), from ''Marina Militare'' official web site. 〕 On 10 April 1943, ''Gorizia'' was damaged by an allied air strike at La Maddalena naval base, and moved to La Spezia for repairs.〔Mitcham, Samuel and Von Stauffenberg, Friedrich (2007). ''The Battle of Sicily: How the Allies Lost Their Chance for Total Victory''. Stackpole Books, p. 69. ISBN 0-8117-3403-X〕 She was still there on 8 September, when the armistice between Italy and the Allies was signed.〔 ''Gorizia'' was crippled on 26 June 1944 at her moorings in La Spezia by manned torpedoes, after the Italians joined the Allies, in order to prevent her use by the Germans.〔Fitzsimons, Bernard (1977). ''Illustrated Encyclopedia of 20th Century Weapons & Warfare'', Volume 24. Phoebus, p. 2615〕 Her hull was scrapped after 1946.〔(Gorizia Schwerer Kreuzer )〕 ==Notes==
