Presumably, a member of the Luftwaffe. Littorio had the rename to Italia because it (or she, in KanColle) was captured by the Allies along with Roma, and the Italian BBs were attacked by the Germans to prevent them from falling into allied hands. (Roma sank during this attack, but Littorio/Italia escaped and briefly became an allied ship. Like most ships captured by the allies that weren't target practice, they only used her for scrap, though...)

You have your facts wrong. Littorio was renamed Italia after Fascism was overthrown, but before Italy signed the Armistice (so, when Italy was still an ally of Germany and in the war at its side). Roma sank, but Italia (and the most part of the major Italian ships) was technically surrendered to the Allies (technically, meaning that they weren't really given up, they didn't even had to lower the Italian flag), and they always kept Italian crews. So, they never became "Allied" (as in non-Italian ships). While Italia and Vittorio Veneto were kept as "hostages" in the Great Bitter Lake, many other ships were used alongside the Allies as training ships, or even as picket ships against German raiders in the Atlantic (some light cruisers). In the end, the two modern battleships would have had to be given up to the USA and the UK, but both renounced to them, on the condition that Italy would have to scrap them. However, other warships were left, and formed an important part of the postwar Italian fleet (amongst which, what was destined to become the first European missile cruiser, so to speak).
So... he's angry with Littorio-chan because she sailed to Malta to surrender?
Yeah, in that manga historical figures from various ages have been called in a parallel universe or something, Kanno gets a similar reaction when he meets Scipio, who tries to say that he's from Rome, the other strip is directly inspired by that scene. More than a few consider it a betrayal, after all.

Yes, I know...
But what really bugs me is that everyone talks about Italy... but no one remembers that during WWII Finland, Romania, Bulgaria and even Hungary swapped sides, or tried to. Yet we Italians are the ones getting all the flak.
To everyone in Giappone, buongiorno.
I'm an old man from Italia.Eh, erm~You don't have to apologize, so how bout coming over to my place instead?Apologize to Germany-san you asshole!I came here today to deliver Littorio-chan. The Japanese admirals are all earnest...Yet I feel slightly insecure.
