The RN Vincenzo Gioberti (hull designation GB) was a destroyer of the Royal Italian Navy, the second ship of the Alfredo Oriani-class. The destroyer was laid down on January 2, 1936; launched on September 19, 1936; and commissioned on October 27, 1937. The Alfredo Oriani class was structurally nearly identical to the preceding Maestrale class, differing only in increased propulsion capacity and a different anti-aircraft battery composition. However, these changes were not significant, as the more powerful engines only modestly increased the ship's speed. Additionally, the armament changes replaced outdated and ineffective 40mm machine guns with new but ineffective 13.2mm machine guns.

The Vincenzo Gioberti was part of the IX Destroyer Flotilla along with her sister ships. During the Mediterranean War, the flotilla primarily performed patrol and escort missions. The flotilla participated in the Battle of Punta Stilo. After the Italian fleet began retreating, the flotilla was sent in for a torpedo counterattack, which was unsuccessful. The destroyer also participated in the Battle of Cape Spartivento, in which she failed to distinguish herself. From December 1940 to January 1941, the Gioberti participated in the shelling of coastal fortifications in Greece and Albania. Subsequently, the IX Flotilla participated in the Battle of Cape Matapan. After the cruiser Pola was damaged, the destroyers were sent to assist the cruiser but came under fire from British ships. During the battle, the Carducci, the sister ship of the Vincenzo, was lost while covering the retreat of the remaining flotilla ships. Following the battle, the destroyer served as an escort ship for an extended period. During one of her patrols, she participated in the First Battle of the Gulf of Sirte, though she did not distinguish herself.

From February to May of 1942, the destroyer underwent modernization. In June, she was transferred to the 10th Flotilla and scheduled to participate in the attack on the Harpoon convoy. However, she returned to port due to engine failure.

On August 15, while escorting a convoy, she was attacked by British aircraft. The attack resulted in severe damage and heavy crew losses, but the destroyer was able to return to port. On August 9, 1943, while en route from La Spezia to Genoa with the cruiser Duca d'Aosta, she was attacked by the British submarine Simoom. The cruiser evaded the torpedoes, but the destroyer made an incorrect maneuver, was hit by two torpedoes, broke in two, and sank. One hundred seventy-one crew members were saved.

The RN Vincenzo Gioberti was introduced in Update 2.55 "Ninth Wave", in her 1942 modification. The destroyer's main battery armament is weak. Firstly, it is small. Secondly, the guns have an extremely low rate of fire. Her survivability is also poor. However, she is equipped with an impressive anti-aircraft battery of twelve 20mm automatic cannons and has good mobility.
