-RN Attilio Regolo was a light cruiser of the Capitani Romani class, laid down on September 28, 1939, and completed and commissioned on May 14, 1942. Attilio Regolo had no opportunity to participate in actual wartime missions, on November 7, 1942 she was hit by a torpedo launched from the submarine HMS Unruffled, whose torpedo striking destroyed almost the entire bow, and she only returned to activity on September 8, 1943 in Genoa. According to armistice provisions, on September 9 she arrived at the height of the Gulf of Asinara, and was sent to assist the shipwrecked battleship Roma. Attilio Regolo carried out a total of 3 missions covering 1,962 miles for 113 hours of motion during Co-Belligerent service. After the war, she was transferred to La Spezia where she remained inactive pending the execution of the naval clauses of the Peace Treaty. She was decommissioned on July 26, 1948 and ceded to France, renamed Chateaurenault, and remained in service until October 1, 1962.

-The Attilio Regolo, introduced with the initial Italian naval tree in [[Update "Starfighters"]], is a cruiser with good firepower, mobility, and manoeuvrability characteristics. Its 135 mm guns are perfect for battering destroyers and light cruisers, however, for more armoured targets it has a much harder time causing serious damage.

-The RN Attilio Regolo, named after Marcus Atilius Regulus, was a ship of the Capitani Romani flotilla-leader class of light cruisers (emphasis on light), designed as a counter to the new large French destroyers coming into service. Attilio was laid down on the 28th of September 1939 and commissioned into the fleet on the 14th of May 1942.

-The Attilio Regolo was a Capitani Romani class light cruiser designed to counter and catch the Mogador, and Le Fantasque class French destroyers in 1939. On November 7th 1942 the ship was torpedoed by the British sub HMS Unruffled, which caused the ship to be dry docked until the armistice with a shattered bow. After the war the Regolo was transferred to the French navy and renamed the Chateaurenault (D 606) as a war reparation, before finally being decommissioned in 1961.

 The Attilio Regolo's hull lacks any substantial armour, with the design emphasizing speed instead. This leaves areas such as the engines, ammunition magazines, and the bridge susceptible to damage from even destroyers' shells. However, the front of the turrets are protected by 20 mm of armour, while the sides and roof are protected by 6 mm of armour. This protects the turrets from nearby explosions from destroyers' high explosive rounds, but direct hits will disable the ship's armament. The bridge is also surrounded by 15 mm of armour, which is not reliable in protecting the module.
