Now Viewing: littorio_(kantai_collection)Tag type: Character The Kantai_Collection version of the Italian Regia Marina battleship Littorio. Name and lead ship of the Littorio-class battleships. Named after the Lictor [1], which was the bearer of the fasces [2] that was both symbol of Italian-style Fascism, as well as its namesake. In real history, she was renamed the Italia_(Kantai_Collection) after Benito_Mussolini fell from power, but her rename comes with her kai (remodel_(Kantai Collection)) in-game. Littorio has a notable similarity in appearance to Tomoe_Mami of Madoka fame. Considering that her official artist, Jiji, has drawn several works with Mami in the past, this may not be a coincidence. She has long_hair, wavy_hair brown_hair in a ponytail that is swept over her shoulder, and brown_eyes. She wears a white sleeveless_shirt with additional detached_sleeves, a red necktie, and her waist is covered in armor with anchors hanging down. She wears a red pleated_skirt, and white thighhighs with red candy-stripes held up by garter_straps. On her head is a white armored headdress. Her combat gear (machinery) includes a "split hull" design not unlike Yamato_(Kantai_Collection)'s, with three large triple-cannon turrets hanging over her shoulders. The only difference between her Littorio and Italia forms is that Littorio has white-and-red-striped decks, while Italia has steel gray decks. Her Summer seasonal CG features her wearing a red two-piece swimsuit, a sarong and an hibiscus in her hair. She holds a drink and two of her main turrets are propped to her upper arms. She also has a Christmas seasonal CG where she is wearing a "sexy Santa" dress with a striped scarf, a sprig of mistletoe in her hair and a Santa hat under her headdress. She is holding a sack and a the_Roma-like_snowman Roma_(Kantai_Collection) is standing beside her. When damaged, the snowman is reduced to a puddle. Those seasonal CG are shared with her Italia form with minute differences. Historically, she was rarely ever used after mid-1942 due to the severe Italian oil shortages. She was torpedoed while at harbor by the British in the Attack on Taranto [3], but managed to survive. She was also almost sunk by the Luftwaffe after being captured by the allies. Ultimately, she was assigned as a war prize to the United States, who didn't retire her and relinquished all rights on her on on 5 October 1947, with the obligation to demilitarize her. This was delayed, but in June 1948 the armistice commission ordered to cut the main guns with torches and smash reduction gears with sledgehammers. She was sold to the breakers on 7 December 1951, dismantling was completed by 1954.
