The Italian light cruiser Raimondo Montecuccoli was a fast, well-armed vessel of the Condottieri class, featuring significant improvements over earlier designs with stronger armor (60mm belt, 30mm deck), capable of 37 knots, armed with eight 152mm guns, 100mm AA guns, and torpedoes, serving as a substantial evolution towards a more protected "proper" cruiser during WWII before becoming a training ship postwar. #historyeveryday #history #learneveryday #share #facebook | Ships & Models by Erick Na
