In the ongoing negotiations Washington Naval Conference, the proposed tonnage limits for the "Regia Marina" was to be , which was now to include a converted "Francesco Caracciolo" and two new, purpose-built ships. A new conversion design for "Francesco Caracciolo" was prepared, with an island superstructure, but Italy's chronic budgetary problems prevented the navy from building any of these ships. "Francesco Caracciolo" was subsequently broken up for scrap, starting in the fall of 1926. The other three ships

Francesco Caracciolo


Prince Francesco Caracciolo (18 January 1752 – 30 June 1799) was an Italian admiral and revolutionist. Caracciolo was born in Naples to a noble family. It is likely that he was named after St. Francis Caracciolo, a saint of the Catholic Church and Francesco's many times great uncle. He entered the navy and learned his seamanship under Rodney. He fought with distinction in the British service in the American War of Independence, against the Barbary pirates, and against the French at Genoa under Lord Hotham. The Bourbons placed the

The "Francesco Caracciolo"-class battleships were a class of battleships designed for the Italian "Regia Marina" in 1912–1913 and ordered in 1914; the first ship of the class, "Francesco Caracciolo", was laid down that year. The other three ships, "Cristoforo Colombo", "Marcantonio Colonna", and "Francesco Morosini" were all laid down in 1915. Armed with a main battery of eight guns and possessing a top speed of , the four ships of the class were intended to be the equivalent of the British

"Marcantonio Colonna" was laid down on 3 March 1915 at the Odero Shipyard in Sestri Ponente. "Cristoforo Colombo" followed on eleven days later on the 14th, at the Ansaldo shipyard in Genoa. The last member of the class, "Francesco Morosini", was laid down at the Orlando Shipyard in Livorno on 27 June 1915. "Francesco Caracciolo" was the only member of the class

space for new construction, Sechi drastically reduced the number of older ships in service; he also cancelled the battleships of the "Francesco Caracciolo" class. "Francesco Caracciolo" was sold on 25 October 1920 to the "Navigazione Generale Italiana" shipping company. The firm planned to convert her into a merchant ship, but the work was deemed too expensive, and so she was temporarily mothballed in Baia Bay outside Naples. By this time, the "Regia Marina" had returned to the idea of converting the ship into an
9515590
Francesco Caracciolo-class battleship


, but she was not to be completed. That year, the "Regia Marina" considered converting "Francesco Caracciolo" into a flush-deck aircraft carrier similar to the British . The poor economic situation in Italy in the aftermath of World War I, and the heavy expenses of the Italian pacification campaigns in Libya, forced severe reductions in the naval budget. As a result, a modern carrier conversion could not be completed. Ansaldo proposed converting "Franceso Caracciolo" into a floatplane carrier, a cheaper alternative. It was

and his request to be shot instead of hanged refused. The sentence was duly carried out on 30 June 1799. The local port of Borgo Santa Lucia nevertheless took care of Caracciolo's remains, giving him a proper funeral and burial at church of Santa Maria della Catena. His epitaph reads, "Francesco Caracciolo, Admiral of the Republic of Naples, who fell victim of the hatred and the lack of mercy of his enemies. He was hanged at the mast on 29 June 1799.

The monitor received a pair of 381 mm guns from "Francesco Morosini", and the two and four s were also equipped with spare 381 mm guns. Another pair of guns was installed in Venice as "Batteria Amalfi" to protect the harbor. Work resumed on "Francesco Caracciolo" in October 1919

He was the son of Francesco, duke of Martina and count of Buccino, making him nephew of Innico Caracciolo the Elder. He was appointed inquisitor on Malta on 30 April 1683 and 'referendario' to the tribunals of the Segnatura Apostolica di Giustizia e di Grazia.

then had the transports seized. He took those who had surrendered under the treaty under armed guard, as well as the former Admiral Francesco Caracciolo, who had commanded the Neapolitan navy under King Ferdinand but had changed sides during the brief Jacobin rule. Nelson ordered his trial by court-martial and refused Caracciolo's request that it be held by British officers, nor was Caracciolo allowed to summon witnesses in his defence. Caracciolo was tried by royalist Neapolitan officers and sentenced to death. He asked to be shot rather than hanged,

of the "Regia Marina" (Royal Navy). He secured authorization for a huge new construction program, which called for four new battleships, three cruisers, and numerous other warships. The "Francesco Caracciolo" class was the first type of super-dreadnought battleship designed by the "Regia Marina". They were intended to match the new fast battleships being built in foreign navies, such as the British . Rear Admiral Edgardo Ferrati was responsible for preparing the designs. He originally called for a ship armed with twelve guns

Francesco Caracciolo-class battleship


and twenty secondary guns, but by the time he had finalized the design, he had reduced the main battery to eight guns and the secondary battery to twelve guns. The "Francesco Caracciolo" class was long at the waterline and long overall. They had a beam of and a draft of . They would have displaced at normal loading and up to at full combat load. They were to be equipped with two tripod masts. The ships would have been powered by four Parsons steam turbines, with steam provided by twenty oil

by eight 45-caliber guns. Anti-aircraft defense was to be provided by twelve autocannon. As was typical for capital ships of the period, the ships of the "Francesco Caracciolo" class were to be armed with eight torpedo tubes, either or in diameter. Armor for the class consisted of Krupp cemented steel manufactured by Terni. The main belt armor was thick; horizontal protection consisted of a thick deck. The main conning tower had thick sides. The same level of protection was applied to the main battery turrets, while

Shortages of steel slowed the construction of the ships, and after Italy entered World War I, other classes of warships, particularly destroyers, submarines, and other light craft were needed to combat the Central Powers. As a result, work on the ships was suspended in March 1916. Around of steel had been built into the hull for "Francesco Caracciolo" when work stopped.

greatest confidence in his skill. When on the approach of the French to Naples, King Ferdinand IV and Queen Mary Caroline fled to Sicily on board Horatio Nelson's ship, (December 1798), Caracciolo escorted them on the frigate "Sannita". He was the only prominent Neapolitan trusted by the king, but the admiral's loyalty was shaken by Ferdinand's flight. On reaching Palermo, Caracciolo asked permission to return to Naples to look after his own private affairs (January 1799). This was granted, but when

Republicans and the 500 French had retired to the castles, and Caracciolo landed and tried to escape in disguise. He was betrayed and arrested by a Royalist officer, who on 29 June brought him in chains on board Nelson's flagship, . It is doubtful whether Caracciolo should have been included in the capitulation concluded with the Republicans in the castles, as that document promised life and liberty to those who surrendered before the blockade of the forts, whereas he was arrested afterwards, but as the whole capitulation was violated, the point
2093927

is immaterial. Moreover, the admiral's fate was decided even before his capture, because on 27 June, the British minister, Sir William Hamilton, had communicated to Nelson, Queen Mary Caroline's wish that Caracciolo should be hanged. As soon as he was brought on board, Nelson ordered Thurn to summon a court martial composed of Caracciolo's former officers, Thurn himself being a personal enemy of the accused. The court was held on board the "Foudroyant", which was British territory—a most indefensible proceeding.

Caracciolo was charged with high treason; he had asked to be judged by British officers, which was refused, nor was he allowed to summon witnesses in his defence. He was condemned to death by three votes to two, and as soon as the sentence was communicated to Nelson, the latter ordered that he should be hanged at the yard-arm of the "Minerva" the next morning, and his body thrown into the sea at sundown. Even the customary twenty-four hours respite for confession was denied him,

A few days later, all the French troops in Naples, except 500 men, were recalled to the north of Italy. Caracciolo then attacked Admiral Thurn, who from the "Minerva" commanded the Royalist fleet, and did some damage to that vessel. But the British fleet on the one hand and Cardinal Fabrizio Ruffo's army on the other made resistance impossible. The

His initial training was said to be with Francesco Imparato and Fabrizio Santafede, but the first impulse that directed his art came from Caravaggio's sudden presence in Naples in late 1606. Caravaggio had fled there after killing a man in a brawl in Rome, and he arrived at the end of September or beginning of October 1606. His stay in the city lasted only about eight months, with

In 1786 he was made viceroy of Sicily, replacing Domenico Caracciolo - it was probably Sir John Acton who favoured his appointment, in order to get him out of Naples, where he was very popular. Thanks to his powers as the king's substitute in Sicily, Caramanico continued Caracciolo's work of reform, limiting the barons' power and reinforcing central control. To this end, in 1788 he abolished
