◆概要
イタリア海軍が1915~1916年にかけて竣工させたド級戦艦で,
カイオ・ドゥイリオ
アンドレア・ドーリア Andrea Doria
の2隻.
オーストリア=ハンガリー海軍のテゲトフ級弩級戦艦4隻に対抗する目的で建造.
前級カブール級を改善した設計となり,30.5cm三連装砲x3,同連装砲x2を登載した.
第一次大戦中,そのオーストリア=ハンガリーは現存艦隊主義ドクトリンにより不活発だったため,両艦は船団護衛やオトラント海峡封鎖任務で終わる.
戦後の1925年,カイオ・ドゥイリオはラ・スペツィア湾停泊中,3番主砲塔内で爆発事故発生.
1932年,代艦建造を予定して,2隻とも予備艦となった.
だがフランス海軍とのダンケルク級戦艦建造に対し,イタリア海軍のヴィットリオ・ヴェネト級戦艦建造が間に合わないことが確実視されたため,イタリア海軍は練習艦任務にあったコンテ・ディ・カブール級戦艦に徹底的な近代化改装を行って間に合わせることになり,カイオ・ドゥイリオ級2隻は練習艦として現役復帰.
続いてフランス海軍がリシュリュー級を建造開始したため,イタリア海軍はこの2隻も近代化大改装して間に合わせることにした.
主砲を三連装砲x2,連装砲x2に減じる代わり,砲身をボーリングして32cm砲に大口径化.
1940年7月15日,カイオ・ドゥイリオ再就役.
同年10月20日,アンドレア・ドーリアも再就役した.
第二次世界大戦では,2隻は地中海方面で英軍補給路の妨害作戦や枢軸軍の船団護衛に従事.
その間,英国艦隊によるタラント空襲により,カイオ・ドゥイリオが魚雷一発を受け小破.
1941年5月までドック入りとなった.
1942年2月,マルタ島付近で作戦活動したが,同年夏頃よりイタリア海軍の燃料事情が悪化.
2隻はタラント港湾に停泊して練習艦任務に就いた.
1943年,イタリア本土が戦場となると移動砲台として活動.
同年9月,イタリアの降伏を受けてマルタ島へ到着し,連合軍による処理を待った.
1944年6月,イタリア海軍籍に復帰し,シチリア島のアウグスタ港にて練習艦任務に就いた.
第二次大戦後の1947~1949年11月,カイオ・ドゥイリオはイタリア艦隊旗艦となり,次いで同年12月~1951年3月までアンドレア・ドーリアが旗艦任務となった.
1956年9月,老朽化により2隻は除籍.
同年11月,スクラップ処分となった.

2022-10-05 18:33:22I have to admit, it's a bit tiresome sharing pics of the battleship Andrea Doria, and waiting for the inevitable comments about the liner sunk in 1956. 😕 [This is her during her first machinery trials during her radical reconstruction, in February 1939] #regiamarina pic.twitter.com/qa7gmGNzDc
