The Andrea Doria and Caio Duilio were initially built in 1915-1916. However, extensive
modernization was completed between 1933 and 1940. Some modernizations included lengthening the ships by 11 meters,
reboring and rechambering of turrents for new rounds which weighed 493 lbs. The final 18 months of the Italian war
effort kept these ships inactive due to major fuel shortages.
