Ok, so with my finals over, it's time to upload more ships! This here is the heavy cruiser Fiume, of the Italian Zara class. The Zaras were considered as one of the best designs built under the limitations of the Washington naval treaty. They managed to fit considerable protection (against 8" weapons), but at the cost of superstructure and torpedo tubes. Like most Italian cruisers, their seaplane arrangements are carried on the bow. The four ships of the class--Zara, Fiume, Gorizia, and Pola--are named for cities along the Croatian coastline. Fiume's motto "Sic indeficienter virtus" was derived from its namesake city's motto that dated back to the 17th century! Unfortunately, three of the class were lost in a single night, being wastefully surprised by the British battleships Barham, Valiant and Warspite. Gorizia managed to survive the war, however.
