Italian cruiser Agordat: provided gunfire support when which empire and kingdom fought?
Italo-Turkish War The Italo-Turkish or Turco-Italian War (Turkish: "Trablusgarp Savaşı" , "Tripolitanian War"; also known in Italy as "Guerra di Libia", "Libyan War") was fought between the Kingdom of Italy and the Ottoman Empire from September 29, 1911, to October 18, 1912. As a result of this conflict, Italy captured the Ottoman Tripolitania Vilayet (province), of which the main sub-provinces ("sanjaks") were Fezzan, Cyrenaica, and Tripoli itself. These territories together formed what became known as Italian Libya.
Regioni-class cruiser The Regioni class was a group of six protected cruisers built for the Italian "Regia Marina" (Royal Navy) in the late 1880s through the early 1900s. The class comprised "Umbria" , "Lombardia" , "Etruria" , "Liguria" , "Elba" , and "Puglia" , all of which were named for regions of Italy with the exception of "Elba", which was named for the island. The class is sometimes referred as the "Umbria" class, for the first ship to be laid down. The ships, built by four different shipyards, varied slightly in their size, speed, and armament, but all could steam at about 18 kn and their main armament consisted of four 15 cm guns and six 12 cm guns.
