Compared to the Germane battleships, the Roaman battlecruisers are lighter, much faster (the fastest vessels in the NEIGHTO combined fleet) and both more nimble.. and prettier. A design flaw of the vessel has two of its main gun turrets amidships, instead of fore-and-aft as with the other NEIGHTO partners. While this does limit its ability to bring its full weight-of-shell against an enemy vessel, when it CAN, it has 16 total naval rifles it can fire, giving it an unexpectedly impressive broadside with an equally impressive range, for such a light caliber.

Fast and light, the Protected Cruisers of the Roaman fleet may have a light gun, but they can fire fast, and from a decently good range. Their high speed allows them to get OUT of trouble as fast as they get INTO it, too, allowing for excellent hit-and-run strikes.

Province Class
CLASS NAME:	Province	SHIPS IN CLASS:	Viterbo, Rieti, Torino, Asti, Venezia, Padova, Pavia, Lodi, Firenze, Pisa, Perugia, Terni, Potenza, Matera, Savona, Genoa
SHIP TYPE:	Scout Cruiser	ENGINES:	14 Ceirano Water Tube Boilers, 8 IVECO-Ferrari Geared Turbines	SCREWS:	4	SPEED:	35kts
PRIMARY ARMAMENT:	4 x 2 150mm/L45 (5.9"/45)	SECONDARY ARMAMENT:	None	TERTIARY ARMAMENT:	None	MACHINE GUNS:	12 x 2 11mm Breda M-02

The "hot rods" of the Roaman fleet, the lightly armed Province-class Scout Cruisers have no torpedo armament, and only a light gun armament, but again, benefit from a high rate of fire. Mostly suited to its scouting role, with some capability of fighting light vessels, the Province-class ships are considered "unprotected cruisers" as they don't have armor specifically to guard its engine and magazine spaces, just the standard deck and side armor.

Comune Class
CLASS NAME:	Comune	SHIPS IN CLASS:	Arezzo, Altamura, Cortona, Manciano, Carzano, Cogne, Ravenna, Montello
SHIP TYPE:	Fleet Destroyer	ENGINES:	8 Alfa Romeo Fractal Distillate Engines	SCREWS:	4	SPEED:	35.5kts
PRIMARY ARMAMENT:	4 x 2 15cm L/50 (5.9"/50)	SECONDARY ARMAMENT:	None	TERTIARY ARMAMENT:	3 x 4 480mm R1 Oxygen Torpedo	MACHINE GUNS:	10 x 2 11mm Breda M-02

TRANSIT RANGE:	900 nmi	TOTAL CREW:	60 Enlisted, 15 Petty Officers, 10 Officers	MARINE DETACHMENT:	12	NUMBER OF BOATS:	2 x 5 meter launch
Roam's primary torpedo delivery system, the Comune-class Destroyers boast an impressive 12 torpedo spread, and a very high speed, allowing them to get in close, fast, launch, and withdraw before most peer enemy vessels can track them with their guns. The 480mm R1 torpedo is very fast, at 51 knots.

Citta Class
CLASS NAME:	Citta	SHIPS IN CLASS:	Assisi, Civitanova, Forli, Magenta, Chieri, Albenga, Quarrata, Anzio
SHIP TYPE:	Ocean-Going Torpedo Boat ("Schnellboot")	ENGINES:	4 Alfa Romeo Fractal Distillate Engines	SCREWS:	4	SPEED:	38kts
PRIMARY ARMAMENT:	2 x 2 15cm L/50 (5.9"/50)	SECONDARY ARMAMENT:	None	TERTIARY ARMAMENT:	3 x 4 480mm R1 Oxygen Torpedo	MACHINE GUNS:	7 x 2 11mm Breda M-02

TRANSIT RANGE:	650 nmi	TOTAL CREW:	30 Enlisted, 10 Petty Officers, 5 Officers	MARINE DETACHMENT:	None	NUMBER OF BOATS:	None
These corvettes are barely NOT PT Boats, only because their hull design was intended from the start to be ocean-going, and they have a decent range without refuelling. As with the Destroyers, they have an impressive 12 torpedo spread, and a very high speed.

Ceasar Class
CLASS NAME:	Ceasar	SHIPS IN CLASS:	Caesar, Rex

AIRCRAFT COMPLIMENT:	36 Reggioni RM-201 Strike Fighter, 6 Reggioni RN-101 Scouts	FLIGHT CREW:	122 Pilots and Administrative Staff	ANTI-SUBMARINE ARMAMENT:	None	TORPEDO ARMAMENT:	None
OVERALL LENGTH:	148 meters/485 feet	NUMBER OF DECKS:	5 Belowdeck, 1 Hangar Deck, 3 Conning Tower	BEAM:	30.5 meters/100 feet	DRAFT:	7.7 meters/25 feet
TRANSIT RANGE:	1210 nmi	TOTAL CREW:	680 Enlisted, 120 Petty Officers, 45 Officers	MARINE DETACHMENT:	24	NUMBER OF BOATS:	12 x 5 meter launches
Recognizing that their battlecruisers were very limited, and needing a Carrier platform, the Roaman Navy modified Ceasar and Rex into Aircraft Carriers. The modification was simple enough - shave off the top, add a flight deck with elevators, empty out the first superstructure deck level, reuse the former Barbettes as munitions and fuel elevators from deeper in the ship, replace the older engines with faster and more powerful ones, and remove a layer of internal armor belt to save some weight. The result is these.

The modern fast battleship of the Roaman fleet, the Imperio-class ships are as refined as the Rainbow of Light-class and, while the armament is lighter, the guns have similar range. The Roaman 127mm dual purpose gun has very good range, and has a proximity fuse bursting charge for use against aircraft. Its armor is as thick or thicker than the Rainbow of Light-class, and it has a better turning radius, owing to its Double Reduction Geared Turbines. All ships of this class come outfitted to be used as Flagships, and have rather impressive dining facilities for official functions.

The true, modern Heavy Cruisers of the Roaman Navy, these are named for ancient Roaman heroes. With potent 8.5-inch guns for taking on ships, a compliment of scout planes, and a decent amount of boats to support a landing operation, the Condotti-class Cruisers are true modern Heavy Cruisers in every regard. The hullform is the same as the Regioni-class, only longer, and with more internal reinforcements, and some additional armor.

Faster and slightly tougher with some armor plate reinforcement over certain areas, the Regioni-class was reclassified as a Light Cruiser, and given significant AAA assets, and a more powerful main gun. It still hasn't the staying power of a true Heavy Cruiser, however, and still lacks torpedoes. It is, however, much more adept at taking out peer and inferior ship types, showing some of the evolution of the Roaman fleet.

Province-Class
CLASS NAME:	Province	SHIPS IN CLASS:	Viterbo, Rieti, Torino, Asti, Venezia, Padova, Pavia, Lodi, Firenze, Pisa, Perugia, Terni, Potenza, Matera, Savona, Genoa

The need to protect against aircraft was felt before Tirek's first attempts to strike naval assets, and the Roaman fleet - after developing an aircraft carrier - realzied this. So, the Province-class scout cruisers were modified into AAA/Force Protection Cruisers, complete with the Roaman anti-submarine mortar system, and the addition of a hefty torpedo armament. The Leonardo GST is a copy of the Equestrian GST, the data package shared freely due to the war. The "Riccio" (Hedgehog) ASW Mortar is unique in that it only explodes when it comes in contact with a Submarine, unlike a depth charge, which explodes at a pre-set depth.

Refined as well, the Roaman destroyers now present a threat to submarines, and aircraft. With their new engines, they have a bit more speed as well, and boast a 12% tighter turning radius than before. This allows them to strike with their impressive torpedo armament, or conduct a high speed run of ASW Mortar Fire against a sonar contact, ensuring a wide spread of munitions.

Upgraded with anti-sub and anti-air weapons, these Corvettes have better striking power overall. They make dandy guardians for fleets in harbor, and close to shore. They still have a short transit range, and even with the upgraded engines, lack stamina, but are more nimble.
