Strale was a Freccia-class destroyer built for the Regia Marina in the early 1930s. The ship was built by Odero of Sestri Ponente and was launched on 26 March 1931. During the Second World War, Strale rammed and sunk the British submarine HMS Odin along with the destroyer Baleno on 14 June 1940. She was beached near Cape Bon on 21 March 1942 and later was destroyed by torpedoes from the British submarine Turbulent on 21 June 1942.[1]
