Funny arrangement of guns. This is the only ship up to now that has proper tertiary guns. Since it's unique in that respect, I suggest they be represented as S.A.:
"TERTIARY GUNS x/x/x/-: This unit may make an additional x/x/x/- gunnery attack during the Surface attack phase.

yeah, that's really weird, one rifle of a specific caliber hardly seems worth it, this will be fun to stat

Taking a stroll through some of the vessels that have been posted to stat since time stopped for me last week. Velly interesting, Japanese, Hungarians, and what not. Should be fun.

The Italians made a whole series of these ships with numerous variations from ship to ship. The Garibaldis were among the earliest armored cruisers intended specifically to fight against battleships.

I should qualify my own statement. Right from the start, HMS Shannon was intended to fight cruisers and station ironclads. But the Garibaldis were intended to participate in fleet actions against frontline pre-dreads.
