I thought it wasn't too light I guess that 8 100mm guns is light but the 48 25mm guns accompanying them seems to be fairly substantial, though I was planning on upping it to ~64 25mm guns Would 8-12 100mm guns, and ~12 47mm suffice?

Thanks for the feedback! I agree with the points you both made on reflection and I've hopefully made a start on amending them and have almost finished re-writing the SS report in SS2. Regarding the AA suite though, I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean?

Thanks again, good to know that people remember my little ships. I've taken the time to read through Italy's news long enough to know the trouble with Greece.
