Project history: So-called "colonial" cruisers: weak ships intending for service on colonial stations. Could be used and as training ships (had accommodations for 100 cadets). Project was developed on the basis of out-of-date Calabria. Battle value of these cruisers was insignificant.
Ship protection: Main protection consisted of deck with slopes.
