The UK and US ordered these two dreadnoughts scrapped in Italy. The Italians hoped to have this order reversed, so that they might negotiate the return of these two vessels when the peace treaty expired in 1952, so they found a variety of excuses to not get started. The ships sat at La Spezia until 1951, when the Inter-Allied Control Commission ordered the ships to be rendered useless. Two out of three 15" guns in each turret were crudely cut off, the reduction gears were damaged beyond repair, and other vital equipment was destroyed. The Italians gave up on saving them, and the two ships were cut up by 1955.

Retained by Italy:

Battleships:

Andrea Doria
Caio Duilio
They were refitted and acted as training ships, and alternated as fleet flagships. In 1953 Duilio was laid up, and scrapped in 1957. Doria became a stationary school ship at Taranto in 1953, and was cut up in 1961.
