		Conte di Cavour was returned to Regia Marina on 1 June 1937; it was in Taranto at the beginning of the World War II, on 10 June 1940.

		Three later vessels, the " Conte di Cavour," " Giulio Cesare " and " Leonardo da Vinci," are of 22,000 tons, 35,000 H.P., 23 knots, and carry thirteen 12-inch guns.
		The next cruisers to be built were the "Invincibles," which might have been classed as battleships on account of their heavy armament and substantial armour protection; the Dread- former greatly exceeding in power the armament of Fastnet—at an average speed of 25.13 knots, a record speed at the time for a transatlantic voyage.
		The former are vessels 502 ft. in length, 70 ft. beam and 26 ft. 6 in.

		The reason for this was the Washington Treaty of 1921, which restricted the tonnage of total battleships a nation was allowed to possess (forcing Great Britian to scrap several of it's ships) and disallowed construction of battleships at all.
		Following this class was the South Dakota class, of the same tonnage as the North Carolinas, but was of a smaller length, allowing for the reduced weight be used for extended armor.
		This class had the same armament as the earlier fast battleships, nine 406mm guns, but of a newer and better model, and was able to go up to 33 (!) knots.

		Regarding torpedo protection, the last two Classes of the series were certainly the most advanced in the world at the time of their introduction, and the older ships were comprehensively updated when reconstructed.
		The last five battleships were placed into reserve where they remained until disposed of in 1959, thus outlasting their every rival, including Nelson and Rodney as well as newer ships such as the Vittorio Veneto's and the King George V’s.

	War in the Mediterranean - The Taranto Raid
		The five (soon six) Italian battleships suddenly became a very serious threat and it was the Royal Navy this time that might have had doubts before engaging such a force.
		That was because several of the estimated 15,000 rounds of all calibers fired by shore and warship anti-aircraft defenses had landed on the merchantmen and even in the city, causing severe damage.
		Three battleships had been hit, one (Cavour) had sunk in shallow waters, another (Littorio) had her bows underwater and her keel in the mud and finally a third one (Duilio) sustained moderate damage but two magazines were completely flooded.

		The second “Standard Type” battleship design was the USS Pennsylvania (BB-38)--a.k.a “Battleship 1913 and Battleship 1914”--which actually represented a development of a scheme considered for “Battleship 1912.” The Pennsylvania sported four triple, single sleeve turrets, vice Nevada’s two triples and two twins.
		Regarding torpedo protection, the last two Classes of the series were certainly the most advanced in the world at their introduction, and the older ships were comprehensively updated when reconstructed.
		Conte di Cavour sank from a single torpedo hit abreast the forward magazines which completely flooded the forward section of the ship at Taranto.

	Italian Battleships
		On the basis of this treaty, Italy demolished the four battleships of the Caracciolo class of which one had already been launched and three were laid down.
		During the reconstruction of the 4 old battleships, the Regia Marina began studies on new units based on the dictates of the Treaty of Washington which allowed up to 35,000 tons and guns of up to 406 mm which were rejected in favor of guns of 381 mm.
		The battleship of the Littorio class, which in 1943 was renamed Italia, were the only Italian battleships armed with triple turrets, two forward and one aft, configuration typical of those of other navies.

	Torpedo Defense Systems of World War II
		Battleship designers were first forced to deal with damage at or just below the water line due to gun shells striking the side.
		Conte di Cavour sank from a single torpedo hit at Taranto, and Caio Duilio had to be beached to prevent her sinking, also after one hit.
		The US also employed this variety of TDS in fast battleships of the South Dakota and Iowa classes and came to the conclusion that the heavy bulkhead was too rigid, resulting in a modest down-grading of the system’s explosive resistance rating.

	THE BISMARCK CLASS
		The Dante Alighieri class of battleships were the first battleships in the world to have the triple turrets down the centerline. They were also Italy’s first dreadnoughts. Although she was faster than most of her contemporaries, she had relatively weak armor, which would later become typical of all Italian ships
		The Caio Duilio class of battleships were powerful and fast battleships. They sacrificed armor for speed and powerful weapons. These ships were comparable in power to the Arkansas class of ships, but were much faster than they were.
		The Caracciolo class of battleships were neverbuilt. Work on them were suspended in 1916, in order to concentrate on building destroyers, submarines, and other light craft. Work on them resumed in 1919, but was stopped once again in 1920. They were all scrapped by 1922.

		Brin's first pair of vessels, the Duilio Class pre-dreadnoughts of 1872, were the largest, fastest, and most heavily armed vessels in the world at the time of their launch.
		This design became the Vittorio Veneto Class battleships, but the decision to develop them instead of the 26,500-ton battlecruiser, rather than in parallel to it, was probably not the right one.
		While the Vittorio Veneto Class ships were quite good, their long building times meant that they were not available in the crucial, early days of the war in the Med.

		The two-ship class (the other was the Giulio Cesare) was powered by turbines with both oil-fired and coal-fired boilers and supplementary oil burners.
		Compared to contemporary foreign battleships, the Conte di Cavour class was slightly faster, slightly under armed (the 12 inch gun was rapidly being replaced by something larger in most navies) and not as well protected.

		Along with the two surviving Conte di Cavour's (Leonardo da Vinci was blown up by Austrian saboteurs at Taranto on 2 August 1916 and, although salved upside down, was never put back into service), the Doria's were drastically rebuilt during the 1930s.
		Although I would consider this class and the preceding class to be handsome vessels, they were transformed from ugly ducklings to swans during their 1930's rebuilds.
		All in all, I would consider Andrea Doria's to be a lucky class, they did not suffer the fates of their near sisters the Conte di Cavour's.
