It led to the creation of one of the most successful projects out of the pre-war Italian cruisers. Duca degli Abruzzi was laid down in December 1933. During World War II, she participated in battles at Punta Stilo and Cape Matapan, intercepted a convoy in Operation Halberd, and saw much more action. At the end of 1941, she was hit by a torpedo and was sent to be repaired. After the war, the cruiser remained in the Italian Navy, later becoming its flagship.</p><p> </p></div>
The top and most powerful ship in a series of Italian ''Condottieri''-class light cruisers. Unlike her predecessors, she boasted more powerful armament and significantly improved protection, but couldn't travel as fast.<br><br>''{{#var:ship_name}}'' was first released for sale worldwide on 4 May 2018.

|Performance={{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
===Pros===
'''Luigi di Savoia Duca Degli Abruzzi''' is a fairly unique light cruiser at Tier VII, owing mainly to her assortment of consumables, including {{Repair Party}}.  In terms of firepower and overall play style she shares many similarities with her Tier VI Premium Italian cousin, ''[[Duca d'Aosta]]'', so captains who are experienced in playing ''d'Aosta'' will feel right at home in ''Abruzzi''.
* Above average manueverability
* Better than average concealment
* Long range torpedoes with better than average reload
* Good selection of consumables available


For main battery firepower, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' features ten 152mm guns arranged in two sets of triple turrets and two sets of double turrets super-firing over the triples.  On paper, this appears to be a large number of guns; however, in battle captains will quickly discover that her rear turrets have abysmal firing angles towards the front, requiring her to show significant amounts of her profile in order to get all her guns on target.  ''Abruzzi'' is best played as a "kiter", angling away from the enemy and moving parallel to them in order to minimize her profile and maximize her armor thickness and guns-on-target.  The guns themselves are fairly average in terms of AP and HE damage, but like ''d'Aosta'', they suffer from a low fire chance; captains may wish to take the [[Ship:Commander#Inertia_Fuse_for_HE_Shells|Inertia Fuse for HE Shells]] skill to improve her damage output, as relying on fire damage is not a viable strategy.
===Cons===
* Below average gun performance
* Poor HE shells characteristics


''{{#var:ship_name}}'''s maneuverability is excellent; a top speed of 35 knots allows her to get into and away from fights with relative ease, while a quick rudder shift time of 8.9 seconds allows her to wiggle out of the way of incoming fire. A turning radius of 680 meters leads to a decent ability to dodge torpedoes.  Along with her maneuverability, ''Abruzzi''’s concealment is very good as well.  These two aspects of ''Abruzzi'' are her primary tools for staying alive in such a fragile ship.  Captains should use her concealment and speed to get into good positions, and then kite the enemy from an unexpected direction, using her rudder shift to dodge incoming shells.  If she is drawing too much attention to herself, she can fall back on her concealment and speed to get away, all while dropping her slow 12.0 km range torpedoes back at the advancing enemy.


''Abruzzi''’s mix of consumables — including {{Repair Party}} — allows her to function as a decent fleet support vessel, while the ability to heal allows her to recover some of her fighting ability after engagements.  It should be noted however that her heal will not make up for poor positioning and poor angling in combat, nor will it save her from disappearing in a single, well-placed battleship salvo.  Captains must be exceptionally cautious in ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' when under fire from enemy battleships, or they'll have a quick trip back to port.

|CommanderSkills=<!-- write text about best set of Commander Skills below -->
<!-- Key skills for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' commanders include Priority Target, Superintendent, Concealment Expert and Radio Position Finder. Priority Target is a basic skill for all ships, giving vital information on the enemy's targeting. Superintendent is useful for an extra use of Repair Party. Concealment Expert is a crucial skill for all ships, especially the ''{{#var:ship_name}}'', that enables the ship to better disengage from fights and to sneak around the battlefield undetected. As the ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' chiefly hunts destroyers and other cruisers, Radio Position Finder is very useful in tracking low detection targets. Alternatively, Inertia Fuse for High Explosive and Demolition Expert can be selected to boost damage, although it should be remembered that even with IFHE, the ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' cannot penetrate Tier 8-9 battleships, and that the 7% base fire chance may be too anemic to be worth an investment of captain points.

===History===
====Design====
The ''Abruzzi''-class cruisers were considered the fifth and final subgroup of the ''Condottieri''-class “family” of cruiser designs, incorporating the second major redesign and often considered the most balanced of all the cruisers of the class. Overall, the designers chose to reduce the speed and increase the size of the cruisers, while forfeiting agility for increased protection, stability, and armament.  
 
''Abruzzi'' looks superficially similar to her cousins, with the most striking difference being the arrangement of the funnels; the increased beam allowed the two catapults to be placed off-center, so the funnels could be brought closer together. Internally, the armor scheme was similar to the previous designs with some noticeable improvements.  For instance, the main belt consisted of two parts: a forward 30mm plate with a thicker 100mm slab placed some distance inside. The first layer was meant to detonate the fuses of incoming shells, while the latter plate was there to absorb fragmentation and further penetration. Additionally, the main deck was increased to 40mm, the control tower was increased to 70mm in some areas, and the exposed barbettes were increased to 100mm. Interestingly, the ''Abruzzi''-class was one of the few ships that had armoring along the base of the funnels, most likely to avoid shell splinters entering the boiler compartments.  
 
The additional hull space meant that the class was able to carry eight boilers — two more than their predecessors — for further redundancy in machinery for safety.  Feeding two geared turbines, the power plant generated close to 104,000 shaft horsepower. Although slower by two knots in comparison to the ''[[Duca d'Aosta|Duca d’Aosta]]''-class, the ships still managed a respectable 34 knots in speed trials.  
 
Although the caliber of the armament was standardized to 152mm, the ''Abruzzi''-class carried the longer 55 caliber guns as main armament; the ones first installed on the ''[[Roma|Littorio]]''-class as secondary armament. Furthermore, the class increased the battery count from eight to ten rifles. These were organized as a pair of two-gun and three-gun turrets fore and aft; two-gun turret super-firing over the three-gun turret. Additionally there were 100mm AA guns organized around the superstructure, and a triple-torpedo launcher found on each side of the beam.  Wartime modifications included replacing the 13.2mm AA guns for 20mm auto-cannons, and the installation of a radar set on a modified foremast over the forward superstructure.  
 
Cruiser ''Luigi di Savoia Duca Degli Abruzzi'' – named after the Prince Luigi Amedeo – was the lead ship of the ''Duca degli Abruzzi''-class cruisers.  She was laid down 28 December 1933 at shipyards in modern day Lerici, Italy. Launched on 21 April 1936, she was commissioned into the ''Regia Marina'' on 1 December 1937.


====Service====
''Luigi di Savoia Duca Degli Abruzzi'' was commissioned into the ''Regia Marina'' the most advanced light cruiser in the Italian navy.  On her trials in 1937, she achieved a speed of 34.78 knots at 103,991 shaft horsepower.  ''Abruzzi'' and her sister-ship ''Giuseppe Garibaldi'' formed the 8th Squadron of the 1st Division.  Her first missions were some of the last operations of the Spanish Civil War, participating in blockades of Republican Spanish shorelines, until the Nationalists won in April 1939. Following a visit to Portugal in later 1939, ''Abruzzi'' became the flagship of the 8th Division.  When Italy declared war on France and Britain in 1940, ''Abruzzi'' and ''Garibaldi'' operated together frequently, eoyj their first major action being the indecisive Battle of Calabria against the British in mid-1940.  Operating out of Taranto, ''Abruzzi'' remained on call throughout 1940, her only other major sortie ending up as a failed attempt to intercept troop convoys bound for Malta from Egypt.


Come mid-March 1941, however, ''Abruzzi'' and ''Garibaldi'' moved to the Adriatic to cover convoy traffic involved in the Italian invasion of Greece. On 26 March 1941, both ships set out for a raid into Cretan waters, supported by heavy cruisers, destroyers, and battleship ''Vittorio Veneto''. This raid turned into the Battle of Cape Matapan, where three Italian heavy cruisers were sunk at British-Australian hands; ''Abruzzi'' and ''Garibaldi'' had already detached from the raiding force before the battle, so they escaped a similar fate. The pair returned to their duties of intercepting convoys around the island of Malta and protecting Italian-German convoys bound for North Africa. ''Abruzzi'' split off from her sister, deploying in response to the British Operation "Halberd" in late September 1941. After resuming convoy protection operations, she took an air-dropped torpedo to the stern in the early morning of 22 November, blowing off her stern in its entirety.  She limped back to port in Messina, where she remained for several months while undergoing repairs.  As 1942 opened — and the pendulum in the Mediterranean began to swing against Italy and her Axis allies — ''Abruzzi'', still missing her stern, had to quickly sail from Messina to Taranto, which was a safer port for her while her repairs were completed.

Re-joining ''Garibaldi'', the two cruisers transferred to Pilos, Greece in July 1942 to attempt to intercept British attacks on convoys, but shortages of fuel, bombing attacks, and the lack of enemy naval activity forced their withdrawal to Taranto by November that year. The severe shortage of fuel in Italy eventually left both ships permanently in port at La Spezia. Following the Italian Armistice, both ships surrendered at Malta in September 1943, then became two of the largest combat-capable ships in the Italian Co-Belligerent Navy. They were transferred to the Central Atlantic, settling at their new base of Freetown, Sierra Leone, where they escorted Allied convoys through the Atlantic.

''Abruzzi'' returned to Taranto on 29 April 1944, operating thereafter as a transport and training ship.  After World War II, she had a long career in the reformed ''Marina Militare'', going through several rounds of modernization, and equipped with various experimental equipment designed for future Italian vessels.  ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' was decommissioned in 1961 but remained a hulk in Venezia until she was scrapped in 1972.

Duca degli Abruzzi — Italy Premium Tier VII Cruiser.

Cruiser projects of the 1932–1933 program had a tendency to increase armor protection, which resulted in reduced speed. It led to the creation of one of the most successful projects out of the pre-war Italian cruisers. Duca degli Abruzzi was laid down in December 1933. During World War II, she participated in battles at Punta Stilo and Cape Matapan, intercepted a convoy in Operation Halberd, and saw much more action. At the end of 1941, she was hit by a torpedo and was sent to be repaired. After the war, the cruiser remained in the Italian Navy, later becoming its flagship.

Pros

  • Above average manueverability
  • Better than average concealment
  • Long range torpedoes with better than average reload
  • Good selection of consumables available

Cons

  • Below average gun performance
  • Poor HE shells characteristics
