ANCIENT CRUISER OF THE ITALIAN ROYAL NAVY
Dimensions: L = 96, H = 38 cm
The Zara class was a class of heavy cruisers of the Royal Navy, used during the Second World War; the class consisted of four ships, Zara, Fiume, Pola and Gorizia.
The Zara class was the evolution of the Trento class and belonged to that category of 10000 t heavy cruisers defined by the Washington Naval Treaty of 1921. Among the 10000 t Washington-type heavy cruisers, the Zara class cruisers are universally considered the most successful and the most balanced in armor, armament and speed.
