Enrico Toti was one of four Balilla-class submarines built for the Regia Marina (Royal Italian Navy) during the late 1920s. The boat played a minor role in the Spanish Civil War of 1936–1939 supporting the Spanish Nationalists. She was the only Italian submarine to have sunk a Royal Navy submarine during the Second World War.
