Thank you, Golly and heuhen. I updated the pic with the credit I accidentally forgot! WhyMe was kind enough to pm me about my omission, one that I didn't want to have on record.

I kinda disagree Gollevainen, not hideous, but rather designed by a committee. I rather like it, almost like a cruiser version of the Lexington class CV's.
I'll read the back story tonight (just got home from work) I'm looking forward to it.

Well, making hiddeous ships, that could still be something sailing there for true is indeed quite remarkable achievment. But Lexiton indeed comes to mind

I have to say, your ships are probably my personal favorite AU cruisers to date! The stack on the Thevai somehow manages to look good on her too.

Excellent work, the funnel is very Lexington yet somehow seems quite neatly scaled to the rest of the ship. A truely great work.

The Thibai is incredible,but too much for me,so my larger vessel will be the CA Psara.

I really must agree with this, a good backstory really helps tell why a ship was designed the way it was.

I wouldn't call these "pretty", but they do look like they mean business!

Since the reception of my modest AU ship renderings have been so overwhelmingly positive and such great interest has been shown, I decided that it would be only fair and proper to have a touch-up done on the drawings, making sure all annoying pixel issues might be resolved, adjusting a few proportional issues and other less obvious ones. So, I have updated each picture, so if you cared to save a copy to your SB-folder, I will ask you to save a new copy of the edited, finished versions.

Here's also a list of the cruisers in service as of 1939. Later I shall post a Fleet Disposition List too:

1. Giorgios Averoff
2. Helle
3. Makedonia
4. Ionia
5. Ipeiros
6. Anatolia
7. Kriti
8. Kypros
9. Psara
10. Spetsai
11. Hydra
12. Thessaloniki
13. Athinai
14. Olympia
15. Philadelpheia
16. Thevai
17. Serrai
18. Sparta
19. Doxa
20. Sphendoni
21. Augousta

You seem to be missing the "www.shipbucket.com" watermark on drawings of Thessalonike and Thevai (partially)
