Italy:
Destroyer San Giorgio in the 1960s
San Giorgio had been completed in June 1943 as Pompeo Magno, one of the three Capitani Romani-class light cruisers to be completed, out of twelve originally laid down. After the end of World War II, she was the only ship in her class to be left to Italy (the other two had to be handed ove to France), and between 1950 and 1955 she was rebuilt as a flotilla leader (among other things, the eight 135/45 mm guns of the main armament were replaced with six 127/28 mm American guns), re-entering service with the new name of San Giorgio in July 1955. The following year, she was joined by San Marco, her former sistership Giulio Germanico, which had been captured incomplete and scuttled by the Germans after the Armistice of Cassibile, refloated after the war and rebuilt like Pompeo Magno/San Giorgio.

San Giorgio underwent further modifications in 1963-1965 and became a training ship, being finally decommissioned in 1980
