They would eventually give the design to the Romanian Military as a way to improve their navy with a bigger gunned vessel but not need something the size of a Battleship. The Italian Military opted not to go this route and instead progressed to the Littorio battleships. This ship would have a displacement of 18000 long tons (8,000 more than the Deutschland) and have 2x3 343mm(13.5in) naval cannon as it's main armament.

This would eventually lead to the design of the Littorio class battleships but before that they submitted their own design which was quite similar to the Deutschland class cruisers. This resulted in France laying down the Dunkerque class battleships as a response. However Germany began building the Deutschland class cruisers (Admiral Graf Spee). They considered multiple small cruiser designs as they did not want to institute a arms race with France. In the lead up to the design of the Roma, the Italian military had begun considering multiple designs for different smaller ships after having 70,000 tons of ship building capability by the Washington Treaty guidelines. I would personally call it the Pompei class Cruiser with it being dubbed the RM Pompei. The designation for this ship was UP 102. For your consideration I wish to suggest a tier 8 heavy cruiser that would have been identified as a pocket battleship.
