Armament was to be one 3in DP gun (type unspecified and the turret is vaguely Swedish looking), two twin 20mm, one Bofors A/S mortar and ...

Looks excellent, I agree the shielded B mount looks better. One minor nitpick, you probably need more room between the breach of B gun and the bridge. There isn't much room for the gun crew and allowing for recoil etc. Note most RN cruisers of the time had fairly well spaced out guns. There is ample...

This is an interesting design. It marks a half-way point between the shielded gun cruisers of the 1910s and the twin and triple-gun turreted cruisers of the 1930s. I myself doubt whether the beam turrets would be good for stability and by 1921 the advantages of broadside gunpower may well surpass th...

Nice work on these updates.
The only ones missing are the never-built variants, the one with the Mk71 8in and the enlarged hangar Hayler, I could do the latter if you want me to.

Generally its a 1930s ship but of course the Civil War and other wartime problems resulted in these ships commissioning far later than planned. I'm sure Jane's had a plan in one of their books of t...
