Italy:
Heavy cruiser Fiume, first of the Zara-class to be completed, making a full turn to port at top speed during sea trials, in 1931
The Turbine-class destroyer Nembo was assigned, by June 1940, to the I Squadriglia Cacciatorpediniere (1st Destroyer Flotilla), stationed in the Libyan port of Tobruk. Said flotilla executed two bombardments of British positions around Sollum in the night between 14 and 15 June, and in the morning of 26 June. Units of the Fleet Air Arm equipped with Fairey Swordfish torpedo-bombers attacked Tobruk a first time in the evening of 5 July 1940, sinking one destroyer and one steamer and damaging more.
Another attack (meant for the light cruiser Giovanni dalle Bande Nere, wrongly believing that it had found refuge there after the Battle of Cape Spada) was executed by six Swordfish of the 824 Squadron in the night between 19 and 20 July 1940. Despite heavy AA fire (which damaged three aircrafts) three torpedoes found their marks, sinking the steamer Sereno, the fellow destroyer Ostro (whose aft magazine was detonated by the torpedo) and the Nembo at 0137 hours; the latter immediately began to capsize, throwing several men overboard, and by 0145 the ship had settled in the shallow water (no more than 7-8 m there).
Twenty-five crewman died in the sinking, while four more were wounded; casualties were relatively light because most of the crew was hosted on other ships in the harbour, and was not aboard the destroyer, with only essential services manned.
The ship was stripped of what could be salvaged, and its guns were later sent to Bardia to strengthen the defences there.

Destroyer Lubiana, formerly the Beograd-class Yugoslav destroyer Ljubljana, at Trieste in January 1943

The Sicily Landings 9-10 July 1943: HMS ESKIMO patrolling the landing area off the coast of Sicily, while in the distance a supply ship burns after being hit by enemy aircraft.
HMS INDOMITABLE is seen over the Seafire 'ready' park aboard HMS FORMIDABLE, with the battleships RODNEY and NELSON. Force 'H' is pictured here in the Ionian Sea just hours before INDOMITABLE was torpedoed.
HMS RODNEY and her destroyer laying a smoke-screen, seen from the flight deck of the FORMIDABLE.

Italy & USN:
Italian destroyers (from left to right, Giuseppe La Masa, Rosolino Pilo and Giuseppe Missori) and coastal torpedo-boats at Venice in 1919; in the foreground, the Wickes-class destroyer USS Kilty (DD-137)
Italy:
Cruiser Varese on the Hudson River, probably for the 1909 Hudson-Fulton celebration
The Prima Squadra Navale (First Naval Squadron) was one of the two squadron-sized units (the other was, logically, the Seconda Squadra Navale) in which the main forces of the Regia Marina was divided from 1928 to World War II. Till the conflict, one of them was based at Taranto, and the other at La Spezia.
The merits of the division of the fleet in such a way (discarding the earlier unitary command of the Armata Navale, formed in August 1914) have been disputed by several Italian historians, who have pointed out that the two Squadre would have likely combined to face an opponent, as they in fact usually did in WWII.
