Nino Bixio Class Cruiser (1911)

Italy completed two Nino Bixio class scout cruisers just before the Great War began. Similar to the previous scout cruiser Quarto, they featured an improved layout for their 4.7-in guns that permitted all to fire on the broadside. However, their reliability proved much inferior to the previous unit.
