Montecuccoli-class Light Cruiser

Ships in class: 2

The third Condottieri subclass, the Montecuccoli group, also feature two vessels. These two vessels saw a significant increase in armor protection over the two previous groups, but the armoring scheme was poor and meant that the added armor added little practical protection. With the increase in displacement came heavier powerplants which allowed the vessels to retain the speed of the previous classes. The Montecuccoli group retained the same weapon scheme as preceeding vessels. Both ships survived the war.
