Well, another factor to keep in mind with this refit is that it does remove the torpedo tubes and all associated equipment. Given that RA had set aside 48t of weight for torpedos, I think there would be additional room to shift some internal facilities around to accommodate the larger magazine. Now whether this falls under a 25% or 50% job is up for debate (tho a 50% job would also be giving them new engines as well, freeing up more space).
Shouldn't there be two superfiring turrets?The first big project of the year, a major refit of Duca degli Abruzzi and Duca d'Aosta. The highlights: Improvements to the 152mm battery & increase in the ammunition count by 200 rounds. Replacement of the 47mm AA battery with modern 76mm and 37mm weaponry. Removal of torpedo and associated protection systems. Addition of modern electronics. General refurbishment. Cost: 1990.5t per ship. Time: 4.24 months (two quarters).
Duca degli Abruzzi (Refit), Italian Cruiser laid down 1934
Armament:
8 - 5.98" / 152 mm guns (4x2 guns), 99.21lbs / 45.00kg shells, 1934 Model
Dual purpose guns in turrets (on barbettes)
on centreline ends, evenly spread

No problem, I have a real hard time proofreading my own designs and am forever missing things like this...Shouldn't there be two superfiring turrets?The first big project of the year, a major refit of Duca degli Abruzzi and Duca d'Aosta.

Good catch, I have to redo it.
