Oki doki.

If you want a perfect example of some early jet flying boat concept check Saunders-Roe SR.A/1.

Alternative version with the nozzle at the tail tip of the plane:

The shape of the plane is heavily influenced by the Saunders Roe.

Rhade meant, that You don't need sponsons, because they won't work for You, but You still need some sort of floats for stability on sea (like wingtip floats).

Wing tip floats added.

I still don't get why you'd want a jet powered scout plane. Like all early jets its range is going to be abysmal and since it's a two-seater flying boat it's not going to be farver than contemporary prop driven fighters.

Source Materiel is always welcome.

The barbettes on the Ragnarok, Odin, and Balder seem to be very high, and might create stability issues on the high seas. The turrets are also very tall, are they supposed to be autos?

They seem tall because the turrets are slightly shorter than most guns are compared to the height. The height of the barbettes are because the barrels must clear the top of the turret in front of it.

Two new ships joins the fleet:

Kraken class heavy cruiser. The first heavy cruiser, or modern heavy cruiser as defined in the London naval treaty. The ship is from the late 20s-early 30s. The Kraken is armed with four twin 8 inch turrets and served as the blueprint of which the much larger Dreki and Gammur classes were would use. Developed as a modern and more cheaper and practical alternative to the armored cruiser. (See below)



A half finished armored cruiser. Unnamed as of now. Time period is early 20s-mid 20s. She`s armed with five twin 8 inch guns. This is not an armored cruiser in the same way as WWI armored cruisers but more a heavy cruiser before the international heavy cruiser designation existed.

For the Kraken class: Those turrets look very big.

For the other one: Those aft turrets would feel good being more fore a bit. Also, what's up with the mixed secondary artillery?
I would suggest getting rid of the heightened mounts in superfiring/semi-superfiring position, and shorten the superstructure accordingly, to fit the 8" guns better. I don't think you can have that X mount that far aft and keep a hullform fit for cruiser speed.
