Naval service

Galileo Ferraris beached, night of 27-28 November 1917, at Magnavacca (now Porto Garibaldi), by storm. Salvaged in January 1918, but she was too damaged to serve any longer, and was stricken in December 1919. Giacinto Pullino ran aground on the night of 30-31 July 1916, at Galiola Is (Quarnaro); was damaged by her crew; captured by the Austrians and sank while being towed to Pola. Raised on 28 February 1931 by the Italian Navy and scrapped in 1931.
