Beautiful and well-designed, with an excellent backstory!

Congratulations on another winner!

This series of drawings look excellent. The design not so excellent. Concentrating the DP guns in one small area lends itself to a one strike knockout of all your DP weapons. One heavy shell or bomb and 2/3 of those weapons are out, if not all. Your ships are contemporaries of the French and German BC's (D&S, S&G) which have much better secondary armament dispersal. I would put at least one pair forward underneath the bridge (in place of one of the quads?) and resite the displaced gun to where the DP turret came from.

The backstory is wonderful. (I must admit to being too lazy to put that much effort in.)

Superb work, it looks great in Soviet colours too and actually seems very fitting as a Soviet design.
A very nice looking ship, I must admit the concentrated secondaries are a potential flaw but it would make fire control and placement of magazines easier and probably save some length too.

Hello evberyone!

First, thanks for the praise.

@Krakatoa: The design is not supposed to be perfect. Realistic ones have flaws (except the Iowas, which is why I don't like them; they are too perfect). In Conlan and Caithreim's case, the requirement to ship six aircraft ate up too much spave forward, so no 130mm guns could be fitted there; furthermore, I deliberately decided that the Thiarians never managed to design a space-saving way of mounting their catapults, so amidships space was limited too. Besides, as Hood said, it was also a matter of space for the 130mm magazines; as the ships have three shafts, the aft engine rooms serving the center shaft are much narrower than the forward ones serving both wing shafts, so lots of space for secondary magazines is available alongside the aft engine rooms.

Greetings
GD
