Giulio Cesare

One of the three Conte di Cavour-class battleships was laid down in 1910. After World War I, Giulio Cesare underwent a complete modernization process. After her renovation, she served in World War II in the battle of Punta Stilo, in the hunt for Maltese convoys, and in patrol and escort operations. After the end of the war, she was handed over to the U.S.S.R. for reparations and received the name "Novorossiysk."
