italia (kancolle)

The upgraded form of Littorio in Kantai Collection. Her name simply means "Italy".

Virtually identical in appearance, the only differences outside of stats is that her combat gear no longer has the white-and-red stripes, and she has additional secondary turrets.

Her summer seasonal CG is almost identical to her unremodelled portrait. She simply ditches the pareo for a towel and her mouth is open.

Her Christmas seasonal CG is also almost identical to her unremodelled portrait. She simply gave her scarf to the Roma snowman.

Historically, Italia was the rename of Littorio after Benito Mussolini fell from power, and Littorio was captured by the Allies, as the original name had Fascist connotations.
