Ship:Francesco Ferruccio

VII

9,000 doubloons

Francesco Ferruccio — Italy Premium Tier VII Cruiser.

The project of a "long-range light cruiser" was developed as part of a program that involved the construction of several dozen ships of various types for Italian Navy operations in the Indian Ocean. One of the first sketches of an 8,000-ton cruiser was an unusual-looking ship with 152 mm guns housed in quadruple-gun turrets. Among her other features were a long operational range (above 27,000 km) and 90 mm dual-purpose guns that were designed in 1939.

Pros

• Easy to shoot accurately at long ranges
• Low detectability
• Exhaust Smoke Generator consumable available

Cons
