Giuseppe Garibaldi was an ItalianDuca degli Abruzzi-classlight cruiser, that served in theRegia Marina duringWorld War II. After the war she was retained by theMarina Militare and upgraded. She was built byCRDA, inStabilimento Tecnico TriestinoshipyardTrieste and named after the Italian generalGiuseppe Garibaldi.

Decommissioned in 1956,Giuseppe Garibaldi was converted between 1957 and 1961, at theLa Spezia shipyards, into aguided missile cruiser.

Design

[edit]

TheDuca degli Abruzzi-class cruisers were the final version of theCondottieri class and were larger and better protected than their predecessors. The armament was also increased by two extra 152 mm guns, triple turrets replaced twins in the "A" and "Y" positions. The machinery was also revised which led to these ships having a slightly slower maximum speed than their predecessors.

World War II service

[edit]

1940

[edit]

On 9 July at theBattle of Calabria,Giuseppe Garibaldi along with her sister,Luigi di Savoia Duca degli Abruzzi, fired the first rounds of the engagement. During the engagement, splinters from a 6-inch round fired byGiuseppe Garibaldi[1][2] hit the British cruiserHMS Neptune, damaging hercatapult and thereconnaissance aircraft beyond repair.[3][4]

On 1 September, she was part of the fleet that attempted to intercept the Hats convoy and on 29 September,Giuseppe Garibaldi and the rest of the Italian fleet made another ineffectual sortie against Operation MB 5, a successful British attempt to ressuply Malta. On 11 November,Giuseppe Garibaldi was anchored atTaranto whenBritish aircraft attacked the Italian fleet in the harbour.

1941

[edit]

On 27 March,Giuseppe Garibaldi participated in theBattle of Cape Matapan. The commander of the ship at the time wasCaptainStanislao Caraciotti. On 8 May she was part of an Italian force that failed to interceptTiger convoy. On 28 July the cruiser was torpedoed and damaged by the British submarineHMS Upholder.

1942

[edit]

On 3 January, the cruiser escorted Italian convoy M 43. On 7 March,Giuseppe Garibaldi took part in Operation V 5, escorting a large Axis convoy to Libya along with fellow Condottieri-class cruiser,Eugenio di Savoia. On 14 JuneGiuseppe Garibaldi participated in the successfulaction against convoy Vigorous, an attempt to resupplyMalta by the Royal Navy.

After the armistice (8 September 1943), she operated in the South Atlantic together withAllied ships against potential German raiders.

As a guided missile cruiser

[edit]
Launch of a Terrier missile

After the war she was retained by theItalian Navy and modernized with minor changes of the armament and aradar. She was decommissioned in 1953 and reconstructed as aguided missile cruiser.

The new ship was rebuilt in theLa Spezia Arsenal starting from 1957, and, at her completion in 1961, she was named flagship of the Italian Navy. The reconstruction included a complete overhauling of the superstructure, while the hull kept its original dimensions. Apart from some minor changes, much of the latter's rebuilding included four launchers for the U.S. designedUGM-27 Polaris nuclear ballistic missiles. The US never provided the missiles. Instead the Italian government set to develop an indigenous missile, calledAlfa. The propulsion system remained the same. The rest of the armament was radically altered: aRIM-2 Terrier missile launcher madeGiuseppe Garibaldi the first missile cruiser in Europe. The previous artillery was replaced by four 135 mm/45 guns in two twin turrets and eightOto Melara76 mm/62 Type MMIAA guns. Electronics included several radars and fire control systems.

She was decommissioned in 1971 and scrapped the following year.
