Imperial Swedish Navy

That indeed does look impressive. As always, great to see new drawings here!

you always do a good work on these vessels.

HSwMS Kronprinsessan Louise, airdefence cruiser. The class was a swedish response to the growing airthreat especially from the japanese airforces in pacific theater. The have lots of similarites to the RN Didos and USN Atlantas. The ships are named after the crownprinsess Louise who is the siser of lord Louis Mountbatten, Earl of Burma. The second ship is named Eugenie after the RSwNs first circum navigation and a royal princess

Looking very nice. You managed to capture the Slava feeling, without it just feeling like a carbon copy, but having its own very distinct appearance.

HSwMS Segervissheten (Victorious) is named after the motto of the Swedish military academy "Ihärdighet & Segervisshet" (Victorious & Perservence) and was together with her sister HMS Ihärdigheten the training ships aswell as flagships for the Navalacademy squodron 1930-1940 and 1946-1960.

HMS Ihärdigheten was lost in battle with the japanese in Java sea in 1942 while the Segervissheten manage to limp to Australia after the battle. Many midshipmen where lost on the Ihärdigheten. Segervissheten was repaired and fought on in the Pacific until the peace broke out in 1945.

The only comment I would make would be on the 6" secondary's. The whole Dreadnought thing had been to replace the mixed armament pre-dreads with single armament ships. I would replace your 6" with 4.7" and eventually with 4.7" DP guns.

(You still have a bit of green at the bow end)

Well I have thought of that to, my standard DP gun at the time is 105mm,but the 6" is very common in my navy I wanted to use that on a traning cruiser. The 105mm DP was under development at the time, a shorter barreled 105mm was used on the Finland in 1925. I will test it.
