During the ship's peacetime career, she frequently took part in fleet reviews. In 1934, she went on a tour with the royal yacht to eastern Africa, and she made another foreign cruise two years later to Germany during the 1936 Summer Olympics being held there. She was involved in the Spanish Civil War in the late 1930s; she evacuated Italian nationals in August 1936, and while returning to Italy, suffered an explosion in an aviation gas tank that necessitated major repairs. The ship supported the Italian invasion of Albania in 1939. <br /> | During the ship's peacetime career, she frequently took part in fleet reviews.

The ship saw extensive service in World War II, which Italy entered in June 1940. She frequently operated against British convoys to Malta in the Mediterranean, and after the North African Campaign began, she escorted Italian convoys to support the Italo-German forces fighting there. In the course of these operations, she took part in the battles at Calabria, Cape Spartivento, and First and Second Sirte. ''Gorizia'' was also attacked numerous times by Allied bombers while in port, culminating in a major raid in April 1943 that inflicted serious damage to the ship. Under repair when Italy surrendered to the Allies in September, the ship was seized by occupying Germany forces, who found the ship to be unusable and so abandoned her. Italian and British frogmen tried unsuccessfully to sink the ship in 1944. After Germany's defeat in 1945, the Italian Navy determined the ship was beyond economical repair, and so she was broken up for scrap in 1947. | The ship saw extensive service in World War II, which Italy entered in June 1940.

Gorizia — Italian special premium Tier VII cruiser.
A heavy Zara-class cruiser. Ships of this class were designed to confront the weakly protected cruisers that were built after the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922. At the time of their entry into service, they had the best armor among ships of their type. The international displacement-limiting treaties, which were still in force during the ship's construction, were the reason why no torpedo weaponry was mounted on her.
