Genova
In 1923, Italy began working on the design of a "Washington cruiser" that had a displacement of up to 10,000 tons and was equipped with 203 mm guns. It resulted in a project for a cruiser with eight 203 mm guns in four turrets, an echelon propulsion plant, and a flush-deck hull. According to that project, the ship had a catapult and seaplane hangar. The construction plan was not implemented, and further development led to the appearance of heavy cruisers of the Trento class.
