Project history: Project was developed on base of Indomito, but with Swiss-made turbines (by Escher-Wyss) instead of Parsons`s system. As a whole machinery has appeared non-efficient.
Modernizations: 1919, Animoso: - 1 x 1 - 120/40, 4 x 1 - 76/40; + 5 x 1 - 102/35 S1914-1915, 2 x 1 - 40/39 V1917, 2 x 1 - 6.5/80, 10 mines
Naval service: Audace was lost 30.8.1916 E off Calabria (Ionian sea) as result of collision with s/s Brasile cargo vessel. Animoso 29.7.1921 was strongly suffered from boiler explosion, never repaired and in 1923 has been handed over on demolition.
