The second of the Italian dreadnoughts, Conte di Cavour would prove to be an...unlucky one. While she survived longer than she had any right to thanks to treaties and economic concerns, her massive rebuild would end up largely wasted on her. She would only see one major engagement before being damaged to the point of never sailing again under her own power.
Still, her rebuild is a triumph of technology and nautical beauty, so there's that.
