The RN Turbine was the lead ship of the Turbine-class destroyers, improved and enlarged versions of the preceding Sauro-class. Turbine was completed on 27th August 1927, and saw some action throughout her service life. During the Spanish Civil War, Turbine torpedoed and sank Soviet cargo ship Timiryazev carrying coal from Cardiff to Port Said. During her first war patrol on 13th June 1940, Turbine participated in the detection and sinking of British O-class submarine HMS Odin at the entrance of the Gulf of Taranto. She later also participated in the bombardment of the British-held port of Sollum, Egypt as retaliation after a British air attack on Tobruk. On 19th June, Turbine scored her second and last kill of the war, detecting another O-class submarine, HMS Orpheus, about 25 miles north of Tobruk and sinking it with depth charges. Between July and September 1940, Turbine survived multiple air attacks while at anchor in the ports of Tobruk and later Benghazi; except Euro, all her other sisters were sunk in the attacks. In 1942, Turbine underwent refit which changed her anti-aircraft weaponry to seven 20 mm Breda Model 1935 autocannons as the obsolete 40 mm pompoms were removed. Two depth charge launchers were also added. After Italy signed the Armistice, Turbine was ordered to surrender to Germany while at anchor at Piraeus, Greece. She was renamed TA14 and served in the Aegean until sunk by USAAF air attack with rockets in Salamis on 16th September 1944.

RN Turbine was introduced in Update "Starfighters" as Italian reserve destroyer. Her armament is relatively weak with very long reload of 11 sec, compared to her much faster firing contemporaries. Unlike them however, she has access to APHE shells, as well as HE-TF and standard HE shells. Turbine also has access to quite powerful torpedoes, capable of reaching speeds of up to 94 km/h, although limited to range of only 4 km. Turbine is best used as an ambusher, capable of delivering fast and deadly torpedo attacks at close range.
