New Ships: Researchable Italian Submarines
The Italian Submarines—Tier VI Foca, Tier VIII Pietro Micca, and Tier X Calvi—are about to surface! Unlike their peers, these vessels are dangerous on the surface thanks to capable main armaments, access to Main Battery Reload Boosters, and the Exhaust Smoke Generator—a first for submarines!

Italian Submarines Surface in World of Warships
Line Summary
- Guns: Good capabilities enhanced by Main Battery Reload Booster.
- Consumables: Strong set, featuring Exhaust Smoke Generator.
- Torpedoes: High damage, decent range, but very slow base speed.
- Diving: Fast battery replenishment, but low total dive capacity.
- Sonar: Improved marked sector duration, but long reload.
Italian Submarine: Foca (Tier VI)
A medium-sized ocean-going submarine, the lead in a series of three built for the Regia Marina between 1936 and 1939. Their primary purpose was minelaying. All three served in the Mediterranean during World War II. Foca, the lead submarine, was lost under unclear circumstances in October 1940, several months after Italy entered the war.

Italian Submarine: Pietro Micca (Tier VIII)
An ocean-going submarine that served as the prototype for several subsequent series, including the Foca class. During World War II, she served in the Mediterranean Sea, initially as a minelayer and later as a transport. In July 1943, during one of her sorties, Pietro Micca was torpedoed by a British submarine.

Italian Submarine: Calvi (Tier X)
Three large—by Italian standards—Calvi-class cruiser-submarines were commissioned into the Regia Marina from 1935 to 1936. Shortly after Italy's entry into World War II, all three were transferred to the Atlantic, where they sank nearly 30 Allied transport ships. Calvi was sunk in July 1942 by a British escort ship during her eighth combat patrol.
