[edit] WP:MilHist Assessment

This article is easily long enough and detailed enough to warrant no less than B-class. It has pictures, and goes beyond the prose content history of the navy to provide an extensive list of Italian ships, by class. However, I would think that if this article were to be improved at all, it would require significant expansion in just about every section, particularly in the pre-WWII sections. I realize that Italy was a newly formed nation at the end of the 19th century, and the navy was thus new as well, but surely there is more to be said about its activity before and during WWI than just a few sentences.

• I agree; I've added a piece on the origins of the RM; I got it mostly from the article on the Italian Wikipaedia Xyl 54 12:33, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
