Historical Significance: 

After many years of looking enviously on other nations, Italy could now finally boast their new champion.  Michelangelo could maintain a good 27 knots as service speed.  The size of the ship was also something the Italians could be proud of:  She exceeded 45,000 gross tons, with a length of over 900 feet.  Michelangelo was delivered on 21 April 1965, after five years of construction.  The ship represented a synthesis of Italian industry and artistry.
