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.
Conte di Cavour-class battleship The "Conte di Cavour"–class battleships were a group of three dreadnoughts built for the Royal Italian Navy ("Regia Marina") in the 1910s. The ships were completed during World War I, but none saw action before the end of hostilities. "Leonardo da Vinci" was sunk by a magazine explosion in 1916 and sold for scrap in 1923. The two surviving ships, "Conte di Cavour" and "Giulio Cesare" , supported operations during the Corfu Incident in 1923. They were extensively reconstructed between 1933 and 1937 with more powerful guns, additional armor and considerably more speed than before.
