WoWs Cruiser Almirante Cochrane

Overview

In 1937, the Chilean government planned to order the construction of a cruiser at British or Italian shipyards. At that time, the most modern Italian ships of a suitable type were cruisers belonging to the Duca degli Abruzzi class. If a ship had been ordered from Italy, the Chilean Navy would have received a ship identical or close to cruisers of this class.
