> Maestrale were unimpressive, not terrible. Look at the Freccia or something like that if you're looking for the terrible stuff.

I agree; the Dardo-class (we call them this way in Italy) were unsuccessful ships, the Maestrale-class was a decided improvement that formed the basis of all the major Italian destroyers that fought in WWII. But they were not outstanding destroyers.

However, from their design an improved one was derived, from which the project for the Comandanti Medaglia d'Oro-class large destroyers came; those would have been pretty good destroyers.
