Edina italijanska ladja, ki je v zgodovini osvojila modri trak je bila ladja Rex. Zgrajena je bila v Genovi. Krstila sta jo kralj Vittorio Emanuele III in kraljica Elena. Narejena je bila leta 1931. Tako velika potniška ladja ni do te nikoli plula pod italijansko zastavo. Ladja je bila del flote Navigazione Generale Italijana (NGI).

That part of the coast between Koper and Izola is still known as "By Rex". There's also a commemorative plate at the site.

The only reason the British sank the Rex was that since Italy wasn't our enemy anymore, she had become Germany's enemy & they were after Rex. So Rex had it easy. The German's wanted to blow her to pieces.

The Rex was such a wonderful ship. Rex was the only Italian Liners that can go for speed. But still.... Rex was a floating art palace. It hurts to see her destroy like that. Italy wasn't even a enemy anymore.

@TheGigmus1 no one deserved anything. my mother is %50 Italian and my grandfather is %100 Italian. they are very loving and kind people, but they were (unfortunately) guided in the wrong direction in WW2. i'm sorry about your grandfather, but it's no reason to dislike someone. besides, my great grandfather was killed by Germans, and yet i don't dislike them. the past cannot be undone, only accepted for the painful thing it is. enjoy your holiday!
