Conde di Cavour

Naval manouvres of may 1938 off the Naples harbor. About 200 ships for 1400 officers and 25000 sailors took part at the exercitation. Hitler, in official visit, was impressed. The manouvres contemplated simulated attacks by submarines, destroyers and MASs, and a firing test against a radiocontrolled target-ship.
All this in a fantastic scenario: Naples harbor with the Vesuvio, the Sorrento coast, and the islands of Ischia and Capri.
This picture was taken aboard of the battleship Giulio Cesare, head-ship of exercitation and platform for the Italian and German staffs, military attaches, journalists etc.
The photo represent Capri and battleship Cavour. Note the famous Faraglioni of Capri behind the Cavour.

Naples harbor, may 1938 (note the landscape with the Vesuvio). The twin sail school-ships Colombo and Vespucci.
A squadron of seaplanes flying over them (proabably Cant Z 506s).
The Amerigo Vespucci is still in service  for Italian Navy and with its 80 years of age is in the meantime the oldest ship still in active service, and with the longest service too, in a military Navy.
