| Post subject: | Just a cruiser! |
I started to draw it as an large escort cruiser and got a bit carried a way. but not much! The main armament are 135 mm guns that I designed way back for Haram navy! I am not an expert of these type of vessels so any help is nice. I need also help with radars, what radars and so one. any suggestion you can come with must or would be nice to be stated as: - as build (1940-43'ish) - 1945 upgrade - 1950 upgrade/refit - 1960 upgrade/refit - 1965 Possible looks as an test ship! ![[ img ]](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/88748209/cruiser.PNG)

I know you love high freeboards but this is ridiculous. Maybe reduce the bow by a deck. |

Yeah I can do that, and then have the forward battery of 20 mm on one deck. edit: done! |

135mm would not even be adequate for a light cruiser. I would suggest going for 6 inch (155mm) guns for you cruiser. Why is turret number 2 smaller than 1? Is it triple and twin? |

Judging by it's size, a single. |

That depends on the purpose of the cruiser. I think this could be a good Destroyer Leader. I'd rather have at least six than only five though. |

You've got a rather odd weapons mix and the bridge looks like it belongs on a 1950ies concept drawing. |

Honestly I think it looks hideous from an aesthetic point of view but there's potential for something especially if you re-designed the bridge and installed a gangway over the top of the torp-mounts... |

originally I had three tower with 5/6 in triple turret. but then I started to getting cold feet about top weight...

Yeah those guns are odd!Any sugestion about a RN gun that can fit this ship good. (Main and second)

It have become a Destroyer leader and I wanted it to become as a semi large Escort. Oh well... back to drawing table.

The superstructure is tilted a bit in the front. but I need to do some changes.I have main armament, DP gun, AA gun, AA machine guns, torpedoes and depth charges.

Yes she is hideous and that's way I posted is already now! The bridge need a redesign (Suggestion about a real world ship I can look at for inspiration is always helpful),torp-mounts: Gangway = better place for life boats. |
