Done approximately to a 1 pixel : 10 cm scale. Stats Length: 200 m Beam: 22 m Draft 6 m Max speed: 35 knots (65 km/s) Range: 12,500 km Main Armament: 5 x 2 203 mm (8 in) naval guns. Secondary Armament: 6 x 2 102 mm (4 in) dual-purpose guns Tertiary Armament: 5 x 2 40 mm Bofors, 24 x 2 20 mm Oerlikons. Torpedoes: 4 x 3 533 mm (21 in) Torpedoes. Please note that this is only my second real attempt at a WW2 vessel, and as such most of it is based off what little knowledge i could scrape together so please don't be too mean . |

A very beautiful ship, and good scale. British-like style. The only questionable thing is too modern bulbed nose. And it would be good, if you calculated it in the Sharp. |

Very good looking ship. Only niggle would be that it looks bow heavy - too much weight forward. You might be better with 4x3 or 2x2, 2x3 main armament layout to give a longer focsle deck to help achieve the 35 knot speed. |

Very good looking ship. Thanks also, would it be as simple as just removing the front gun or would i also have to shift the superstructure forwards so it's not then back heavy?

Very nice as you must have done it all yourself with a custom scale (I would just cut front mount +bulbous bow and belt a bit to get it right) |

Thanks. When you say "cut the belt" is that length, height or thickness?

Updated taking into account peoples comments: - New 3 gun turrets - belt shortened - HACS and 40mm bofors moved so they can actually work together. - Bulbed nose removed - Other minor changes/updates. - Did a version with an admiral's bridge |

That looks really good Risen Britania. The only 'but' I would have would be to increase the flare on the bow to help with seakeeping at the high speeds you want your ship to attain. Have a look at the bow on the Vanguard as an example of the flare I am talking about. |

Looks really nice
HACS and 40mm bofors moved so they can actually work together.
Unless its AU changed they don't work together the HACS worked with the 4" guns (Bofors has its own smaller directors) and 4 is quite an expensive fit especially early on.
increase the flare agreed but depends how good you want the design? plenty of nations built wet ships OTL...
