Assuming construction had progressed as planned it would be possible to have the Impero completed in late 1942, possibly as late as early 1943. She does not differ much from the Roma. I've removed the director gallery between funnels 1 and 2 to add better arcs of fire for the AA guns. Impero also ha...

From 1916 onward, destroyers were painted in the same grey as capital ships and new construction torpedo b...

Work done is the removal of the fore pole mast and its replacemant of a tripod foremast and heightened fore funnels. Also included are four 76mm AA guns on turret roofs of turrets A and D. She is al...
Since my AU has become a treasure trove of nver built and otherwise proposed ships I've decided to finish some and post them here.

Designs such as large cruisers for Spain, the Littorio and its successor design; the UP 41 to the Soviet Union. Ansaldo also advertise...

The double fish bone as shown in 41 is green. Might not look like it, but it is. The light grey color does have a smudge of blue in it. What does the 44 camos look like, a block ala KGV and Richelieu? You are right about the Roma being mirrored, as I did not find a good source that would allow me to...
