Thing is, they are likely to be broken or torn away by the wind if they are not supported along their entire length. Plus, having stuff hanging outboard of the hull is generally a bad thing.
I can't see a handy solution to the TTs, but sponsoons certainly aren't it.
I'm talking about the guns on the small platforms, not the 4.5"ers.

Oh. I'll try to get most of the guns (especially the bigger ones) off platforms.

Maybe for the TTs I could narrow the hull a bit near them to give me more beam to play with

Moving the rafts

Edit: I moved the big AA (dual 40mm) off the platform. It was silly to have it there, and removing it should make the platforms more feasable. Y/N?

Indented the hull for the TTs. It looks plausible.

Moved the rafts.

Ammo supply is still going to be an issue, but it's doable. However, I'd move the one on the aft superstructure to the roof. It'll get a better field of fire and it'll be a lot easier to operate.
I was actually referring to the fore searchlight. In either case you should put it either in front or behind the mast. These things are heavy so you're unlikely to get more than one up there so i has to be able to carry on each beam. I'd also move the aft one further down, though that has more to do with aesthetics rather than practicality.

The props look a little clustered, you could move the forward pair more forwards like they did on the Amphion Class(modified Leanders)

Why are you using the 4.7-in as secondaries ?

It says 4" on the parts sheet, and it seems to match up to this 4" mount. I don't think it's 4.7"

still thinking there should be a life raft aft of the float plane, that way everyone on the stern won't drown if it sinks, or no scramble for the mid rafts
