Imperial Italy:
Ironclad Duilio at Venice, ca. 1900
qatb292i8a071.jpg

Duilio had been already reduced to a training ship, as it happened in 1900; this because she was by then completely unfit even for secondary service, as she hadn't been modernized like her sister ship Dandolo. She would remain in use until 1906, when she was decommissioned on 20 October 1906, and struck on 27 June 1909.
