Victory at Sea: Raimondo Montecuccoli

Description

The Raimondo Montecuccoli continued the improvement of the Condottieri concept begun with the Giussano-class. In comparison to the preceding Cadorna-class, the new Condottieri-class ships were some 2,000 tons larger, with increased beam and length but without any noticeable increase in fighting power. However, one of the main benefits of this increase in displacement was better protection, with increases provided in all areas. Named after the 17th century Italian general Raimondo Montecuccoli, the cruiser was involved in battles such as the Battle of Punta Stilo, and convoy attacks during the Battle of Pantelleria. The ship survived the war and acted as a training cruiser until 1961.

Contains one resin/metal cruiser, with game aids.
