Liner Roma was converted into an aircraft carrier during World War II. The ship's hull was extended, equipped with bulges, and a new bow section grafted. The propulsion unit was redesigned using turbines and boilers from unfinished ships Cornelio Silla and Paolo Emilio. 135 mm guns from unfinished ships of the Capitani Romani class were used as anti-mine weapons. The 80% complete aircraft carrier was captured by Germany. Aquila was damaged by Allied aviation and sank after being damaged by Italian submarine saboteurs.
