The better part of a decade ago, Erik_t did a drawing of what was, fundamentally, a conventional version of the California class cruiser, which he called 'DLG-37 USS Porter'. I have, over the years, stayed somewhat enamored with this design, and thus, with Erik's permission I present to you, an updated version of the original drawing, and two possible outcomes of the design:

















I will eventually get these up on the wiki, but that's not for today.

Update and variants look excellent. Great work.

One thing I forgot to note in our PMs: when I first drew this, I fundamentally didn't understand the nature of the exhaust on the Knox mack. I thought it exhausted straight up, and so I drew such an exhaust here. That would be not so good for the radar right above it!

I think you should alter the exhausts so that they're actually Knox-like:

I will get on that.

Edit: And done.

Looks good, I've always enjoyed Erik_T's AU USN ships and its good to see this one retouched in the latest style and expanded upon.
