Derna, Libya
"Pisa" and "Amalfi" both participated in the Italo-Turkish War of 1911–1912, during which "Pisa" supported the occupations of Tobruk, Libya and several islands in the Dodecanese while "Amalfi" briefly blockaded Tripoli and supported the occupation of Derna, Libya. The sisters came together in 1912 and they bombarded the fortifications defending the entrance to the Dardanelles in July. After the end of the war, "Amalfi" escorted the Italian king and queen on the royal yacht to Germany and Sweden during a 1913 visit.
