Zara Kai Ni tentative equipment.

- Some fictional Kai version of the Ansaldo 203mm/53 gun that reduces the accuracy problems of the gun. With some luck upgradable too.

- EC-3 ter "Gufo" RADAR. The most succesful naval radar developed by the Reggia Marina. Its development was completed after the Matapan disaster to prevent what happened to Zara, Pola and Fiume. Here it is the radar she's been asking for in her voice lines. It's just a search radar so I'd expect High LoS but not much accuracy.

- Torpedo: 53.3 cm (21") W 270/533.4 x 7.2 Veloce

>High speed Fiume (Whitehead) torpedo which had a slimmer head than usual which was apparently good for an extra 2 knots of speed. The Japanese were so impressed with the design that they copied it for several of their own torpedoes.

The main reason the Zaras didn't have torpedoes was to save weight to comply with the Washington Treaty limitations so a fictional remodel with torpedoes wouldn't be strange.
