Here's a thread for Italian export cruisers, for now, only the offerings to Romania have been drawn.
First up is the Ansaldo U.P.90 and U.P.90Bis design. The U.P.90 started out as an Ansaldos' take on the German Deutschland class, albeit faster and armed with dual-purpose secondary battery and smaller main guns. The initial design has 6x253/55 in triple mounts, 12x127mm DP guns in twin mounts, 8x40mm guns in enclosed twin mounts, 12x20mm guns in twin mounts and two triple torpedo launchers. Size and protection was modest. The Bis traded the larger guns for smaller 152mm guns in triple mounts fore and aft with a twin mount superfiring above the fore triple mount.

The U.P.102 was a larger and more powerful design armed with 280mm guns in triple turrets. It also trades the 127mm DP guns for an equal number of 120mm twin DP mounts, and doubles the number of 40mm mounts.

Ansaldos' rival company, Odero Terni Orlando also campe up with an export cruiser offered to Romania. Their design was much smaller and faster, armed with triple 152mm mounts, all fore with the stern dedicated to aviation facilities. There was no secondary battery/heavy AA, but the design did have four quad 37mm mounts and four quad 13,2mm mounts. As with the previous designs, the type of plane is not specified, but I chose the He-114 as Romania did have this type of plane at the time these designs were made. Romania would later purchase Arado-196, but thats later down the line and probably the plane of choice for when the ships might have been completed if built.
