描述
Conte Rosso was designed in 1904 as a riverine monitor. She was laid down and completed within 8 months. Rosso was commissioned in 1906, and would patrol the Po River until 1914. She would be used in wartime to ferry small amounts of troops across the Isonzo River. More notably, she also ferried a fourteen year old Ottavio Caroni during these battles. Rosso received minimal damage during the battles of Isonzo, and she was relocated back to the Po River when larger monitors were commissioned. Rosso would run the same routes along the Po and Adige rivers until 1931, where she was captured by Caronist forces during the latter days of the Coup of Reform. Rosso would take her longest journey in 1935, where she was towed from Venice to Sardinia, and then again to Libya. She would remain in Tobruk as the flagship of the small Libyan Flotilla until 1944, where she returned to Italy to sail the Tiber River, which ran through the Julian line, where her 194mm guns proved quite effective at softening enemy positions. Rosso attacked only at night, due to the fact she could only make approximately 7 to 8 knots at full speed. By the end of the war, Rosso was towed to Rome, where the entire ship was removed from the water, and became a museum ship outside of Caroni's personal residence in 1949.
