-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was the lead ship of the Trento-class heavy cruisers of the Regia Marina. Laid down in 1925 under the Washington naval treaty, although they exceeded the imposed limits of it. Trento together with her sister Trieste, were very lightly armoured with only a 70 mm thick belt, 20 to 50 mm thick deck and 100 mm armour protecting turrets. What Trento lacked in armour, she made up in her speed as she managed to reach 66 km/h during her trials and also featured a heavy armament consisting of eight 203 mm/50 Model 1924 guns made by Ansaldo, in four twin turrets with two forward and two aft. During WWII, Trento served extensively in Mediterranean, taking part in battle of Calabria, Cape Spartivento, and Cape Matapan. She also took part in the First and Second battle of Sirte, during which she heavily damaged British K-class destroyer HMS Kingston. In June 1942, during Operation Harpoon, Trento was torpedoed by a Bristol Beaufort torpedo bomber and then later on torpedoed by British submarine HMS Umbra and sunk with very heavy loss of life on June 15th, 1942.

-Introduced in [[Update "Starfighters"]], Trento is the first heavy cruiser of the Regia Marina that captains will come across. She offers powerful main weaponry and average speed, but inadequate protection. Her secondary weapons consist of six twin 100 mm turrets able to fire HE-TF shells against aircraft on long distances, complemented by four twin 37 mm Breda autocannons for self defence against motor torpedo boats and aircraft that manage to penetrate the flak barrage made by the 100 mm guns. As last wave of defense serve four twin 13.2 mm Breda heavy machine guns. Trento is also armed with 16 torpedoes with 4 loaded in two fixed twin launchers amidship on each side and another 8 torpedoes ready to be reloaded. However, the spare torpedoes are relatively unprotected as the 50 mm armour belt doesn't reach high enough to fully cover these, leaving the ship vulnerable to fatal torpedo explosions.

 {{Specs-Fleet-Plane}}
-Located on the bow is a catapult with one Ro.43 scout plane which provides unique offensive and defensive abilities, expanding tactical options. Ship-launched scout planes fly just like regular tree units but lack munition choices and cockpit views. The Ro.43 is a 2 seater equipped with two fixed offensive light machine guns and a single defensive machine gun turret, but no bombs. It does have the scout plane ability to cap zones and lay down smoke cover (up to 3 times). Captains will be wise to remember to utilise the aircraft and consider when best to use it, for example to cap a point early or late in the match, to create a smoke screen to stymie enemy bombardment and repair, to attack enemy units directly, or perhaps something completely new!

 The main armament of the Trento consists of 8 x 203 mm/50 Ansaldo Mod.1924 cannons in 4 dual-mounted turrets. The primary round used on Trento is the 203 mm APHEBC Perforante with explosive mass of 3.16 kg, and 402 mm of penetration at 1,000 m. This shell can hit almost all modules in any ship,and is best used to counter ships trying to angle or hitting modules deep in a ship that are normally hard to penetrate. The next best round is the HE-TF Contro-aerea. This shell can penetrate 62 mm at any range with an explosive mass of 9.69 kg, as well as having a time fuse for use as an anti-air shell. The final shell should be avoided as it is inferior to the other two rounds, as the HE Dirompente can only penetrate 58 mm at any range with an explosive mass of 7.5 kg.

Both HE rounds have a penetration of 17 mm at any range, and an explosive mass of 1.3 kg, while the APHE has a penetration of 150 mm at 100 m and an explosive mass of 820 g. The HE-TF is the best shell to have loaded for the AI-controlled secondaries, because of its versatility shooting at planes and ships, but when controlled by the player the APHE can quickly dispatch smaller targets.

 <!-- ''Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.'' -->
 The Trento has reliable armour to protect the 987 crew allowing the ship to take a few hits when angled. The citadel is covered 70 mm of armour on the side, 60 mm at the bow behind the forward fuel tank, and 50 mm at the rear ending just before the last set of fuel tanks and pumps. This adequate armour scheme allows the ship to take damage fairly well, but prolonged engagements will have the crew and modules disabled quickly. The main turrets are encased in 100 mm of armour around, as well as decent angles causing the ship to rarely lose the main armament when in duels. However, the bridge siting behind the front turrets is vulnerable as it's only a flat 100 mm, meaning that it is reliably destroyed by other cruisers, but is protected from anything firing HE rounds. The biggest downfall of the Trento is fairly weak armour around the ammunition; with only 70 mm of armour near the water line these stowage rooms will quickly be set off if the ship is shot from a flank, however the armour is reliable enough to stop glancing shots when angled. The on-board torpedo reloads is also a concern on the ship, as when hit they will also incapacitate modules surrounding them. The Trento is at its highest survivability when angled bow in towards an opponent, with the torpedo loadout unequipped before battle.
