SS Italia was a French passenger steamship that was built as a civilian ship in 1904. It was used for Transatlantic Immigration from Italy to America likely from Genoa or Naples to New York, until it was requisitioned by the French Navy in the First World War as an armed boarding steamer, and sunk by an Austro-Hungarian Navy U-boat in 1917.
