History

The Duca d’Aosta belonged to the Condottieri D-class of light cruisers. The design was largely derived from the previous Raimondo Montecuccoli-class, except having slight size increase and heavier armor. She was surprisingly fast due to her powerful engines enabling her to reach whole 37 knots on the sea trials. In other aspects she was a pretty common, but successful light cruiser.

She was commissioned in June 30th, 1935 and served in the 7th Cruiser Division in Regia Marina.
Duca d’Aosta actively served throughout World War II among her sistership, Eugenio di Savoia and other cruisers.
She had survived the war and was given to USSR as a reparation under the name "Керчь" (Kerch). She remained a training ship until being sold for scrap in 1959.
