Information on various ship types laid down will appear here soon...ish. I still have to draw some things and do some addition before setting this in stone. And various deals with other countries need to be settled...

No. It is the historical belt and deck armour fit. I didn't see much point in removing it. The Nino Bixio class has no belt but 40mm turtle deck. It'll only be marginally useful anyway.
