Overview
A reimagined 1935 Italian "medium displacement" battleship concept, presented as a "large cruiser" or "cruiser killer." One sketch from those studies featured an unusual layout, with eight 320 mm guns in two quadruple-gun turrets placed amidships, while the secondary battery mounts were relocated to the fore and aft ends of the ship.
