Hello everyone!

Today I present the USS Chicago, CG-11, an Albany-class guided missile cruiser. She has been made as a Baltimore-class heavy gun cruiser before retrofitted extensively as a missile cruiser.

The hull of the Chicago has been drawn by Colosseum as the USS Baltimore. Anything wrong with, please do tell!

Thank You!

I do wonder how they managed to solve the top-weight issue on her?

BTW. Remember to add on the missiles, they should be placed above the ship.
- AAW missile pointing up
- ASuW missile pointing horizontally

The drawing should also be put on a proper template:

I'm very happy to see this finally represented. One of my favorites, and it's an excellent drawing.

How solid is your sourcing on the paint scheme of the ship's boats? I can't specifically lock down 1963, but none of the color photos I've seen from the 1960s show haze gray.

Yeah, seems to be on me. It now has a splash of black, and there're more fixes.

I served aboard Albany. You’ve done a very fine rendering of one God ugly ship.

Thanks for the memories.
