マルコ・ポーロ 马可波罗 マルコ・ポーロ(アズールレーン)
[i][[Azur Lane]][/i]'s personification of the Italian battleship [i]Marco Polo[/i], as part of the [i][[World of Warships]][/i] collaboration.
Character design by [[Nineo]], voiced by [[Misawa Sachika]]. 

She is portrayed with [[long hair|long]] [[blue hair]] framing [[red eyes]] with a [[mole under eye|mole beneath her left eye]], and is tall with [[large breasts]]. Her outfit focuses on a predominantly black-and-red color scheme, featuring a [[black hat]], [[black dress]], [[black cape]], [[black pantyhose]], [[asymmetrical gloves|differently-colored gloves]] ([[black gloves|black]] on her right, [[white gloves|white]] on her left), and [[black footwear|black]] [[high heels]]. 

Her [[rigging]] consists of two hull pieces with lances and containing a 406 mm triple mount, 152 mm triple mount, and three 90 mm twin [[anti-aircraft gun]]s per side, while she is perched on a third hull piece with the [[Regia Marina]]'s real-life red-white stripes. She also uses a [[scepter]] as a melee weapon.

Her personality is incredibly boastful, much like [[Littorio (azur lane)|]]. However, her emphasis is less on [[yuri|conquering herself a harem]], and more on gaining riches and spreading Sardegna's glory to the furthest corners of the world, much like her namesake did.

h4. History
Marco Polo is based on the [https://wiki.gcdn.co/images/b/be/1936_BB_design.jpg](UP41 battleship design), which was intended to be a successor to the [i]Vittorio Veneto[/i]-class battleships.

The design of the UP41 was intended to improve upon its predecessors, with reinforced armor, better torpedo protection, more auxillary and dual-purpose weapons, and armed with a 406mm main battery to better compete against its opponents in the Royal Navy and [i]Marine Nationale[/i]. In typical fashion for Sardegnan ships, her dedicated gun fires SAP rounds.
