The Padua-class was a class of light cruisers built for the Cacertian Royal Navy leading up to and during the Siduri War. The Padua-class were heavily armed for light cruisers and possessed a main battery of fifteen 130mm quick-firing guns capable of devastating damage to light class warships. They were also the final class of light cruisers built under the auspices of Andrea Doria’s post-Divide War new naval strategy.
A total of eight ships were initially planned but this was later increased to ten following the start of the Siduri War. Three were immediately assigned to Task Force Andria to bolster the naval contingent there, five assigned to Task Force Center, and the remaining two assigned to Task Force North. Although all of the ships served extensively during the war, three were present during the Battle of the Sabri Sea of which the Trapini and the Cremona were sunk during the action.
The remaining ships served until they were decommissioned in 1945 and sold for scrap. The Padua is the only surviving example of the ship and is moored at the naval outpost at its namesake city.
