Italian battleship Dante Alighieri passes the Ponte Girevole swing bridge at Taranto, 1918.

Dante Alighieri was the first battleship to have her main guns set in triple turrets at the time of her launching. She was launched ten months before Viribus Unitis but completed six weeks later than the Austro-Hungarian vessel.
