'''''Andrea Doria''''' was the [[lead ship]] of [[Andrea Doria-class battleship|her class]] of [[battleship]]s built by the ''[[Regia Marina]]'' (Royal Navy). The class included only one [[sister ship]], {{ship|Italian battleship|Duilio||2}}. ''Andrea Doria'' was named after the 16th-century [[Republic of Genoa|Genoese]] admiral [[Andrea Doria|of the same name]]. Laid down in March 1912, the battleship was launched a year later in March 1913, and completed in March 1916. She was armed with a main battery of thirteen {{convertcvt|305|mm|abbr=on0}} guns and had a top speed of {{convert|21|kn}}.
 
''Andrea Doria'' saw no major action in [[World War I]], and served extensively in Mediterranean in the 1920s and 1930s. She was involved in the suppression of [[Italian Regency of Carnaro|rebels in Fiume]] and the [[Corfu incident]] in the 1920s. Starting in 1937, ''Andrea Doria'' underwent an extensive modernization, which lasted until 1940. She saw relatively little action during [[World War II]]; she was tasked with escorting convoys to Libya throughout 1941 and into 1942, during which she engaged in the inconclusive [[First Battle of Sirte]]. After [[Armistice between Italy and Allied armed forces|the Armistice]] in September 1943 the ship was sailed to Malta and interned by the Allies. She remained there until 1944, when she was permitted to return to Italian ports. ''Andrea Doria'' survived the war and soldiered on in the post-war navy as a training ship until 1956. Paid off in September, she was formally stricken from the [[naval register]] on 1 November and sold for scrapping later that year.

She was powered by four [[Parsons Marine Steam Turbine Company|Parsons]] [[steam turbine]]s, which drove four [[screw propeller]]s. Steam was provided by eight oil-fired and twelve coal- and oil-burning [[Yarrow boiler]]s that were ducted into two large and widely spaced [[funnel]]s. The engines were rated at {{convert|30000|shp|lk=in}}, which provided a top speed of {{convert|21|kn|lk=in}}. She had a cruising radius of {{convert|4800|nmi|lk=in}} at a more economical speed of {{convert|10|kn|abbr=on}}.<ref name=GG260/>
 
The ship was armed with a [[main battery]] of thirteen [[305 mm /46 Model 1909|{{cvt|305|mm|0}}]] 46-caliber guns in three triple [[gun turret|turrets]] and two twin turrets. The secondary battery comprised sixteen [[Cannone da 152/45|{{cvt|152|mm|0}}]] 45-caliber guns, all mounted in [[casemate]]s clustered around the forward and aft main battery turrets. ''Andrea Doria'' was also armed with thirteen [[QF 14 pounder naval gun Mk I & II naval gun|{{cvt|76|mm|0}}]] 50-caliber guns and six [[Cannon 76/40 Model 1916|76-mm anti-aircraft guns]]. As was customary for [[capital ship]]s of the period, she was equipped with three submerged {{cvt|450|mm|1}} [[torpedo tube]]s.<ref name=GG260/>
