Italian cruiser Agordat: provided gunfire support when which empire and kingdom fought?
Italian cruiser Agordat Agordat was a torpedo cruiser of the Italian "Regia Marina" built in the late 1890s. She was the lead ship of the "Agordat" class , which had one other member, "Coatit" . The ship, which was armed with twelve 76 mm guns and two 450 mm torpedo tubes, was too slow and short-ranged to be able to scout effectively for the fleet, so her career was limited. She saw action during the Italo-Turkish War in 1911–12, where she provided gunfire support to Italian troops in North Africa. She assisted in the occupation of Constantinople in the aftermath of World War I, and in 1919 she was reclassified as a gunboat. In January 1923, "Agordat" was sold for scrapping.
Battle of Antivari The Battle of Antivari or Action off Antivari was a naval engagement between the French, British and Austro-Hungarian navies at the start of World War I. The Austrian light cruiser  and the destroyer  were bombarding the Montenegrin town of Antivari, when on 16 August 1914 they were cut off by a large Anglo-French force that had sortied into the Adriatic in an attempt to bring the Austro-Hungarians into a fleet action. The two Austrian vessels were forced to fight an engagement in order to attempt to free themselves. Although "Zenta" was destroyed, "Ulan" escaped and the Austrian fleet did not come out of port to meet the Allied fleet. After blockading the Adriatic for a while the French were forced to withdraw due to lack of supplies.
