Background

About the ship

Battleships of the Conte di Cavour class were armed with 13 main battery guns placed in twin- and triple-gun turrets. The lead ship of the series participated in the capture of Corfu in 1923. Later, she was modernized and received a new propulsion unit as well as a new bow section grafted over the existing bow. During World War II, she took part in the battle of Punta Stilo. In 1940, during a British air raid on Taranto, she received a torpedo hit and sank.
