The Zara's 8" have a longer range thsn the 8" on the other Italian 8" CAs (Trento and Trieste). This is indicated by '8+' on the ship logs and refers to the '8+' boxed note on the Italian CRT. This allows the Zaras to fire out to 34000yds (the Trento and Trieste can't).On the "Zara" class heavy cruiser Ship Logs the main armament is listed as :- 8"+ (eight plus) - what does the "plus" designate?
