22 hours ago I feel like this could be piggyback the 1949 version to add the Andrea Doria and Duilio for Italy as their class was just and incremental improvement to the Cavour class and their modernized forms were very close. They served until 1953 as active warships and then as a training ship or in reserve until 1956.
