Eugenio di Savoia was an Italian light cruiser of the Condottieri class, belonging to the fourth group known as the Duca d'Aosta class, which was based on the Montecuccoli design with slightly greater size and much heavier armour and a rearranged machinery layout. She was built by Ansaldo at Genoa and named after Prince Eugene of Savoy. In 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, she bombarded Barcelona, and in 1938 and 1939 she made a voyage around the world with a sister ship. In the Second World War she fought at Punta Stilo and with her sister Raimondo Montecuccoli in the Battle of Pantelleria. She survived the war and was handed to Greece in 1950 as a war reparation, renamed Elli, and served the Hellenic Navy as a headquarters ship until 1965, later being used as a prison ship before she was auctioned off in 1973.
