^ During the early stage of WW2 there was no ambiguity on the Italian side. Later on, the post-Mussolini Italian government and later historians started referring to the class as Vittorio Veneto class to avoid using the word Littorio. Why? Because Littorio was named after the Lictor, the bearer of the very symbol of Italian Fascism in Fascist rallies (she was renamed Italia post-Mussolini).
