-'''RN Giovanni Da Verazzano''' was laid down on 17 August 1927 as a scout cruiser, launched on 15 December 1928, and delivered to the Regia Marina on 25 September 1930. During the summer of 1933, the ship got a new refit with new additional anti-air guns and the replacement of the old 120 mm cannons with new ones, and was assigned to the 2°Squadriglia Esploratori della IV Divisione, 2°Squadra. Between 1936-1937, she took part in operations related to the Spanish Civil War. In April 1939, RN Giovanni Da Verazzano was downgraded to a destroyer and assigned to the 15th Destroyer Squadron. At the entry of Italy into WW2, she was at La Spezia undergoing hull enlargement works, which began on 1 May 1940 and was completed on 30 August. She then joined the VII Divisione Navale and participated in the bombardment of the Greek-Albanian coast on 18 December 1940. On 17 October 1942, during an escort to Libya, she was sighted by enemy submarines; she managed to dodge the first torpedo, but was struck by a second causing removal of the stern along with the rudder and propellers. All attempts to save the ship were in vain, and she was abandoned and sank.

-Introduced in [[Update "Drone Age"]], RN Giovanni Da Verazzano is a balanced destroyer, equipped with 120 mm cannons with a moderate reload time and the ability to equip AP shells for use against armoured targets. However, these cannons can be difficult to use, so expect to miss immediately or struggle to destroy enemy targets. The torpedoes are also quite good and can inflict serious damage or sink enemy ships immediately, while the anti-air armament is mediocre at long-range anti-air defence but provides excellent medium and close range protection. The survivability, manoeuvrability, and speed of the vessel are also quite good.
