Ship:Ferrante Gonzaga

IX

18,000 doubloons

Ferrante Gonzaga — Italy Premium Tier IX Cruiser.

A hypothetical design of a light cruiser armed with advanced artillery systems that were under development in Italy in the late 1930s. The 135 mm dual-purpose guns were also mounted on the Andrea Doria-class battleships and the Capitani Romani-class cruisers, while the 65 mm anti-aircraft guns remained as prototypes. The ship's hull and architecture are similar to those of the Duca degli Abruzzi-class cruisers.

Pros
