Affondatore

An Italian version of the "maximum battleship" concept—a ship of unlimited displacement armed with extremely powerful artillery. The battleship's air defenses consist of dual-purpose 135 mm mounts developed in Italy at the turn of the 1930s and 1940s, along with 76 mm anti-aircraft guns adopted into service in the 1960s.
