[edit] Content

Not sure why so much background detail has been completely removed, including some that's relevant to the concept and design of these ships. Folks at 137 17:27, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

I can see that Panairjdde was pruning some redundant verbiage (ship history is better for ship articles, doesn't need to be all repeated here), but it does seem a little severe to me. Mention of the "competing" classes of other nations is totally appropriate here, in fact I consider it key content for these articles. Panairjdde? Stan 21:00, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

If you check Di Giussano class cruiser, you can see that I moved those informations to the appropriate page. The considerations on Le Fantasque influence and on the sinking of all the ships are completely true only for this class. --Panairjdde 08:32, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Might be worth adding something along the lines of "not actually a single class" in the lead para, the "sequence of five classes" didn't quite clue me in that the title is a bit of a misnomer... Stan 13:33, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Fair enough, but sources regard all these light cruisers as of the Condottieri class, differentiated as types, although there are distinct differences in profile. For example, the external link on the article does this. For this reason, the title seems justified and separate articles for each type could be unnecessary. But I'm only an amateur. BTW, could someone point me to a tutorial on setting up tables, then I can enter some of the characteristics for these ships. TTFN, on hols for a while. Folks at 137 22:08, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
