As usual Great Work :)
As usual few comments :mrgreen:

- Quadruple 20mm Flak Vierling and single (or twin ?) 37mm mounts (likely all of German origins) look strange and not the same already draw in SB Part Sheet ?

- Details of Railings and Bridge maybe lack few details/refinement ?

Thank-you!

The Flak 20x4 = indeed German! The other gun is a Spanish Hispano, same as on the Mendez and Gallica. If it were German ones I would have used Golly's ones

Very interesting design, I know something similar was planned by the British briefly around the same time but no details seem to have survived.

A very nice drawing, but it seems to me that the underwater hull is too shallow, and the propellers are too small. Other than that an excellent project Alex.

What buggers me, is that the design is ugly.
But the drawer who made it, has done a great job to improve that.

I remember reading that Spain wanted to build a third member of the Canarias-class before the civil war. Perhaps someone should do an alt history where she's laid down, but she's completed as Spain's first aircraft carrier. :D
