Roma

Roma, named after the city of Rome, was the third Vittorio Veneto-class battleship of Italy's Regia Marina. Roma was commissioned into the Regia Marina on 14 June 1942, but a severe fuel shortage in Italy at that time prevented her from being deployed; instead, along with her sister ships Vittorio Veneto and Littorio, she was used to bolster the anti-aircraft defenses of various Italian cities.

Trivia

 * The red and white stripes come from the distinctive markings fitted on the bow of all Italian ships after the Battle of Punta Stilo (1940), during which Italian bombers couldn't distinguish between the Italian and the British ships; the light/dark grey pattern on her corset is a reference to the later camouflage scheme adopted by some Italian ships during the war.
 * Although the other glasses wearing shipgirls use modern glasses, Roma uses late 19th century style glasses called Pince-nez, specifically the female version. Popular at the time, it comes with a hair pin to hold the glasses securely on her face as seen on her CG.
