Great work! Judging by Your work-speed so far I guess we're not going to wait too much for the rest of these ships.

Type A is beauty. Interesting that the Japanese retained the seperate trunk for the funnels |

You can do if you want, tough i do not know what her dimensions where supposed to be, so it's not possible to scale the drawing yet.

None of the books I have give any reference as to dimensions. I'll ask on an IJN forum and see if anyone knows. |

Just got a reply...the Tamanos were to have been 508.5 feet in length overall. |

a little bonus: Here is IJN tone as initially designed, with 4 triple 6-inch guns on the forecastle, with japan withdrawal from treaty limitations the ships was quickly redesigned and the barbette reworked to house Type 3 8-inch turrets without the need to modify them like it was done on Mogami. ![[ img ]](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/832/cltone1936asplannedtemp.png/)

here it comes also the Ibuki class Heavy Cruiser. ![[ img ]](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/840/caibuki1942templatexl2.png/) a further improvement of the Mogami class, based on the hull of suzuya sported a radar suite and aft superstructure similar to that of Tone and a mainmast shifted aft like Takao, torpedo armament was increased to 4 quadruple launchers (it was 4 triple on mogami); the gun's barbettes where designed since the beginning with a roller path of 5 meters (instead 5,7 on mogami, wich was planned as a light cruiser), still the guns of turret 2 cannot be trained below 12° like the older Mogamis. After the battle of midway it was decided to convert her into an aircraft carrier, and her sister, already under construction, was canceled and scrapped |
