Regina Elena was a Regina Elena class battleship built for the Regia Marina (Italian Royal Navy) in 1901.[2] Designed by Vittorio Cuniberti,[1] she was active in both the Italo-Turkish War with the Ottoman Empire in 1911-1912 and World War I, in which Italy participated from 1915 to 1918.[3] After Italy signed the Washington Naval Treaty, she was broken up.
