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.
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.
