Hmmm... Ballarat? Not sure if it's a name likely to land on anything larger than a sloop, I'd be tempted to go for one of the state capitals instead. My other issue is she's got an awfully heavy and advanced light AA armourment for her role and era (yeah, Bofors were avalible pre-war but not in the quantity that you'd stick a dozen on a CVE) and yet bugger all heavy AA (single 4.5 or 4.7 inch mount, probably low-angle only?). Perhaps cut back on the Bofors (or replace with 2 pounder pom-poms?) and add a few 4in AA guns?

Rodondo, I did a CAC Boomerang a while back and should be on the sheets somewhere. I'll look it up and post a navalized version, if I need to.

Well, I kept the name from the original liner it was built upon, (SS Ballarat) All of the Major capital cities at this point have either a light/heavy cruiser or Destroyer leader named after them and Ballarat seemed a bit fitting as a oddity :P

I agree with the AA comments, so I think what is depicted now will be the post 1942 refit armament, I will be reducing it considerably which opens space for extra boats and hangar space.

Anytime, Brother. Least I could do for an Ally of the Dracan Commonwealth, and them selling parts and equipment to the DC since WW2. XD
