RN Baionetta was an Italian Gabbiano Class corvette that served during World War II in the Regia Marina.
On September 9, 1943, a day after the Italian surrender, Baionetta transported King Victor Emmanuel III and General Pietro Badoglio, together with their entourage and a score of general staff officers, from the small harbor town of Ortona and sailed south escorted by the Italian light cruiser RN Scipione Africano, arriving in Brindisi the next day.[1]
