Re: Dante Alighieri: Italy's First Dreadnought
I've updated the drawing with a more accurate anti-fouling color and added a 1915 version with an added structure in front of the foremost funnel.

This one has gone under my radar for far too long. I've finally remembered, and drawn the 1923 refit. Work done is the removal of the fore pole mast and its replacemant of a tripod foremast and heightened fore funnels. Also included are four 76mm AA guns on turret roofs of turrets A and D. She is also painted in the late war "summer" pale grey.

I made some improvements to the Dante along with a 1925 and later addition with a floatplane on turret 3.
