Marco Polo — Italian special premium Tier IX battleship.
As part of the cooperation between Italy and the U.S.S.R., a project was created for a ship with nine 406 mm main guns placed in three turrets. This project was never implemented. If such a ship had been built in Italy, she would have had 406 mm main battery guns developed on the basis of 381 mm guns, and she would have been ready by 1940 or 1941.

Player Opinion
Pros:
- The only Italian battleship with 406mm guns, can overmatch 27mm armor
- Good main battery traverse speed
- Good main battery firing angles
- Excellent AP penetration and shell velocity
- Has SAP shells with improved penetration angles that can deal devastating damage to lightly armored targets
- Thickly armored midsection, with a 70mm upper belt and 55mm deck
- Good speed, rudder shift and turn radius for a Tier 9 battleship
Cons:
- Small hitpoint pool, only 100 hitpoints higher than Jean Bart
- Poor main battery reload speed
- Despite having decent sigma and dispersion, accuracy at range is average at best
- Second shortest main battery range in tier/class, only Lepanto is worse
- Average concealment, with a minimum surface detection of 13.2km
- Very short AA range
- Lacks the Exhaust Smoke Generator consumable
- Incredibly vulnerable to citadel damage when showing broadside
