    Goito class[edit]

    Goito early in her career with canvas awnings erected, c. early 1890s
    Main article: Goito-class cruiser
    Brin continued his experimentation with the Goito class, adopting different hull
    forms, propulsion systems, and light gun batteries to determine the most
    effective configuration for the new warship type. He was joined in this task by
    Engineering Director Giacinto Pullino, who prepared the design for Confienza.
    Despite their variations, all were broadly similar to Tripoli, upon which their
    designs were based. The follow-on Partenope class adopted the two-shaft engine
    arrangement that had been used in Confienza, along with her gun armament suite,
    which included a single 4.7-inch (120 mm) gun; she was the only member of the
    class to carry a medium-caliber gun.[5]
    Like Tripoli, the four Goitos served with the fleet and participated in training
    exercises. These exercises frequently gamed the problem of a French naval attack
    on various Italian ports, France then being Italy's most likely adversary, owing to
    Italy's membership in the Triple Alliance with Germany and Austria-Hungary.
    When not conducting maneuvers, the ships were frequently placed in reserve to
    reduce operational costs.[6][11][12] By the late 1890s, the ships began to be
    withdrawn from frontline service, with Goito being converted into a minelayer in
    1897, Montebello becoming a training ship in 1898; Monzambano and Confienza
    were simply stricken from the register in 1901 and sold for scrap.[13] During World
    War I, Goito supported the minelaying operations against Austria-Hungary,[14]
    and she and Montebello were both discarded after the war in 1920.[13]
