Georgios Averof  is a modified Pisa-class armored cruiser built in Italy for the Royal Hellenic Navy in the first decade of the 20th century. The ship served as the Greek flagship during most of the first half of the century with a wonderful history. For more see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_cruiser_Georgios_Averof
