Capitani Romani-class cruiser
The Capitani Romani class was a class of light cruisers of the Italian navy. They were essentially designed to outrun and outgun the large new French destroyers of the and classes.〔Gardiner & Brown, page 65〕 Twelve hulls were ordered in late 1939, but only four were completed, just three of these before the Italian armistice in 1943. The ships were named after prominent Ancient Romans.〔Bishop, page 489〕
==Design==
The Capitani Romani class were originally classed as "ocean scouts" (''Esploratori Oceanici)'', although some authors consider them to have been heavy destroyers.〔''Shipbuilding & marine engineering international'', Volume 106, Whitehall Press, 1983, page 388〕〔Sadkovich, James: ''Reevaluating major naval combatants of World War II''. Greenwood Press, 1990, page 132. ISBN 0-313-26149-0〕 In fact, after the war the two units still in service were reclassified ''caccia conduttori'' (Italian for flotilla leaders).
The design was fundamentally a light, almost unarmoured hull with a large power plant and cruiser style armament. The original design was modified to sustain the prime requirements of speed and firepower. Given their machinery development of , equivalent to that of the 17,000 ton cruisers of the , the target speed was over , but the ships were left virtually unarmoured. As a result, the three completed warships achieved during trials (, according to some sources).〔 The Capitani Romani vessels shipped a main battery of eight 135 mm guns guns, with a rate of fire of six rounds per minute and a range of 19,500 m. They also carried eight 533 mm torpedo tubes. The wartime load dropped the operational speed by one to five knots, depending on the source.〔〔McMurtrie, Francis E.
