Littorio and Richelieu were commissioned during the spring of 1940. Although the imminent Fall of France prevented the envisaged struggle for the control of the Mediterranean between this nation and Italy, the climax of this campaign would have been undoubtedly a gunnery duel between the newly commissioned battleships. We now endeavor to investigate which ship would have been more likely to emerge victorious from this hypothetical engagement. - No-nonsense analysis based on official documents including the British Admiralty's ballistic test of the full-scale mockup of Littorio's side armour and more. - Lavishly illustrated with line drawings including armour penetration curves, immunity graphs, armour diagrams and more. - Lists of tables, figures and pictures to ease navigation. - Imperial + metric units.
