Very nice cruiser Rowdy! :) The Napier Class destroyer is also really nice (I do like the low level open bridge).

Someone else making use of seaplane cruisers! I do rather like her lines.

Good looking SPC there Rowdy.

Only comment I would make is that from the timespan of the cruiser (mid-30's) it would be using the 4" HA mounting rather than the S/VW low angle 4", and the single 2pdr would probably have gone up to at least one or two quad 2pd. Also at present you have no enclosed maintenance facilities. Might it be worthwhile putting a single hangar area between the two side mounted cranes and backing onto the boat tier.

Personally I would swap around the stern stuff to make room for a big hangar but apart from that it looks great and a very interesting ship a British (ish) Ōyodo :D

A rare kind of ship but a great drawing. :)

Remarkable ship, the seaplane cruiser Remark.
I had always had a soft spot for aviation capable ships.
A case in point is enclosed here

Another excellent design!
I see this more as a British-esque Gotland. I nice balanced design, I'd love to see a WW2 version with perhaps more AA armament etc.
Would have been handy for ocean patrols, though you would probably want a fairly decent hangar to keep the fragile biplanes from getting too damaged by the elements and salt.

I adjoin the above, really nice to see gotland/tone inspired AU creations. Also, the heavy AA destroyer looked nice by design and drawing

Thanks for the kind words everyone! I'll look into applying some of the fixes suggested and hopefully post a later version soon (this one is as she looked very soon after entering service, hence the single pom-poms).

Updated HMRS Remark drawings:

HMRS Remark in 1932 (same drawing as before just with different 4in gun mounts)

And in 1939 equipped with a hangar (fitted after early operations revealed limitations in aircraft handling and maintenance) and two quad 2pdr mounts replacing the previous singles
