Nino Bixio — Italian Tier II cruiser.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the idea of a fast scout cruiser was popular in many countries. The first ship of that kind in the Italian Navy was armored cruiser Quarto. This was followed by the Nino Bixio class—they were larger than their predecessor and had more convenient artillery arrangement. During World War I, the lead ship of the series participated in the interception of Austro-Hungarian raiders and in the defense of the Entente transports. Nino Bixio served in the Navy until the end of the 1920s.

History
Nino Bixio was a protected cruiser built by the Italian Regia Marina (Royal Navy) in the early 1910s. She was the lead ship of the Nino Bixio class, which were built as scouts for the main Italian fleet. She was equipped with a main battery of six 120-millimeter (4.7 in) guns and had a top speed in excess of 26 knots (48 km/h; 30 mph), but her engines proved to be troublesome in service. Nino Bixio saw service during World War I and briefly engaged the Austro-Hungarian cruiser SMS Helgoland in 1915. Her career was cut short in the post-war period due to severe cuts to the Italian naval budget, coupled with her unreliable engines. Nino Bixio was stricken from the naval register in March 1929 and sold for scrap.
