Originally commissioned in 1915, the Giulio Cesare was rebuilt as a first-generation fast battleship in a process that left only 40% of the original structure in place. The central tower was removed, as was one main battery turret. The remaining guns were upgraded from 12-inch to 12.6-inch. The new boilers and turbines improved speed from 21.5 knots to 27 knots. Participating in the Battle of Calabria in July 1940 the Giulio Cesare was present when British torpedo bombers attacked the fleet at Taranto in November 1940. She escorted several convoys to North Africa and participated in the Battle of Cape Spartivento in late 1940 and the First Battle of Sirte in late 1941.
