History
In real life, Carabiniere was the seventh member of the Soldati-class, launched and completed in 1938. She saw service in the battles of Calabria and Cape Matapan, ultimately surviving the armistice and the war. She was among the destroyers retained by the post-war Italian Navy, who refitted her as an anti-submarine destroyer (pennant D551) before being decommissioned in 1965.
