Trivia

 * Named after the city of Zara (today Zadar, in Croatia).
 * Crippled by RN battleships' shellfire during the Battle of Cape Matapan, and eventually finished off by the destroyer HMS Jervis at 02:40, 29 March 1941.
 * Her lines about Pola are a reference to the setting of her loss in the battle mentioned above; her sister ship Pola was crippled by a torpedo and fell behind, so Zara and her division (another cruiser, Fiume, and four destroyers) were sent back to provide help. The British ships were thought to not be that close, and the lack of radar precluded the possibility of spotting them before it was too late.
