Summary/Abstract: It was without a doubt that the Romanian Navy experienced a period of great achievements in the interwar years. Especially compared to the limitations it had to face before, the 1919-1940 years were marked with a significant expansion in material and men. For the ships in questions it was necessary to acquire them from foreign constructors, since the Romanian naval industry was in its infancy. Mostly British and Italian shipyards competed to sell their projects, some of them with interesting and far-reaching features, to the Romanian Navy in an age of rearmament.
