At the beginning of the 1950s the Italian Navy needed to modernize its warships, so it was decided to build a new class of destroyers. The Indomito class consisted of 2 Indomito and Impetuouso units and were the first ships built in Italy after the end of the Second World War. These new destroyers were conceived above all for antisubmarine hunting, escorting convoys and controlling the Italian seas. The engine system was composed of 4 boilers and 2 turbines, the main herd was formed by 4 fast-firing guns of 127/38mm Mark 12 in 2 twin turrets, of American manufacture, important was the antisubmarine armament composed of 2 trinated Anti-Submarine torpedo launchers ASW 533 mm, 1 Long Menon trinated Anti-Submarine bomb launcher, 4 Short Menon Anti-Submarine bomb launchers and 1 Discharge depth bombs. Interesting for the time were the electronic devices made up of different
types of radar and 1 ecogoniometer (ecg). Ultimately the quality of these units allowed them to remain in service until the early 80s, without undergoing any changes or modernizations.

Considering that every nation ouside Italy have their post war or post war refit DDs it’s still a mistery why the G still refuses to add this class or the refitted Capitani Romani.

They could make the hardest part of the Regia (it’s destroyers) actually manageable, as the cruisers are already in a good spot.

Yes Italy has a good amount of non missile post war ships that can be added to boost the rather meh DD line. this ship would be a great gun boat +1

Hmmm! Cool!
I think it feels like a frigate Koln-class, looking forward to it!

Well, it turns out to be her sister ship Impetuoso. That was pretty close, though still a nice addition regardless.

Anyways, is there any notable difference between the Impetuoso and Indomito?

They are identical. The strange thing is that I didn’t add the Indomito who is the class leader, I wouldn’t want there to have been a mistake.

Well, I suppose we may have the Indomito as a potential premium DD in the future. Given that the Impetuoso are somewhat undertiered at the moment, we might see her as a potential supplement to the bad rank 3 premium that is Tigre we currently have.

+1 even if the impetuoso is already in the game, i would love to play the indomito too

Adding it as a premium ship would be a good idea

+1, looks interesting and fun to play
