Alexandria class heavy cruiser



The Alexandrias brought forth a new wave of improvements to Antaran ship design, mostly notably the return of the flush deck hull form. By then, a below deck aircraft hangar was deemed to be the best layout for cruisers as it saved on space, weight and benefitted from the structural integrity offered by the hull form. The class had notably superior seakeeping and a more stabling gun platform at poor sea states than previous classes. Armour protection increased with minimal hit to displacement. With all these improvements in mind, the navy generally regarded the Alexandrias as the best class of cruisers built up until this point, a rare sentiment particularly for treaty cruisers.

Common critique, the patterns are too perfectly applied and tidy. Otherwise an epic bunch.
