Italy:
Light scout Alessandro Poerio being launched at the Ansaldo shipyard on 4 August 1914

The three Poerio-class "esploratori leggeri" were completed when WWI was already on full swing even in the Adriatic, and served most of the conflict based at Venice (in the IV Squadriglia); none of them was lost, but barely, as the Cesare Rossarol was lost to a mine after the war had ended, on 16 november 1918.
Derated destroyers in 1921, the two surviving ships (Alessandro Poerio and Guglielmo Pepe) were slated for decommissioning by 1937; however, the Spanish Civil War gave them new lease of life, as they were ceded to the Armada Española and rechristened respectively Teruel and Huesca, remaining active till 1949.

Guadalcanal Campaign, 1942-43. USS South Dakota (BB-57) and two destroyers alongside USS Prometheus (AR-3) for repairs, probably at Noumea, New Caledonia, in November 1942. The inboard destroyer, with the distorted bow, is probably USS Mahan (DD-364), which was damaged in a collision with South Dakota at the close of the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands on 27 October 1942. South Dakota received damage in both that battle and in the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal on 15 November 1942.The other destroyer may be USS Lamson (DD-367).
