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.
Colossus-class battleship (1910) The "Colossus"-class battleships were a pair of dreadnought battleships built for the Royal Navy (RN) at the end of the first decade of the 20th century, the last 12 in battleships built for the RN. The sister ships spent their whole careers assigned to the Home and Grand Fleets, often serving as flagships. Aside from participating in the Battle of Jutland in May 1916, and the inconclusive Action of 19 August several months later, their service during the First World War generally consisted of routine patrols and training in the North Sea.
