Strale was a Freccia-class destroyer built for the Regia Marina (English: Royal Navy) in the early 1930s. The ship was built by Odero of Sestri Ponente and was launched on 26 March 1931. During the Second World War, Strale rammed and sunk the British submarine HMS Odin along with the destroyer Baleno on 14 June 1940. She was beached near Cape Bon on 21 March 1942 and later finished off by torpedoes from British submarine Turbulent.
