Battleship Sicilia takes her name from the famous island in southern Italy, as well as the swift and mighty ironclad of the same name, which served in the Regia Marina at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.

As a sister-ship to the Cristoforo Colombo, Sicilia will share the same main armament of four quadruple 381mm turrets. As key differences, Sicilia has a longer-duration and quicker-reloading Exhaust Smoke generator, better reload on her main battery, and her complement of secondary guns will fire SAP. To even out these differences, HE will replace SAP for her main battery.

Captains helming the Sicilia into battle will wish to factor in her high surface detection and play conservatively in the early game.  Preserving HP for later on is important for seizing the opportunity to close with the enemy and use her SAP secondaries. The improved Exhaust Smoke Generator will assist in both the early and late games by allowing high speed maneuvering in smoke while evading or charging in to bring secondary batteries to bear.
