We cannot say that something is a copy when it is different. The lineage of Italian destroyers is well-known and discussed in terms of design progression and stages where design changes were less dramatic. But the series of four-ship classes prior to the Soldati class did see gradual enlargement and improvement with each iteration. That the Freccia was the design basis for the Folgore is not in doubt, but to declare the class "essentially copies of" the preceding one is not accurate; enough alterations of form (length, beam and draught all differed between the two, minutely enough to produce a measurable difference in all three yet still look very similar) were present to produce a hull whose displacement was affected by more than just the beam difference. This required its own set of drawings and calculations to achieve, which is not copying. 2A00:23C7:3119:AD01:355E:5E4C:ABC3:B1DA (talk) 02:02, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
