Holy, I'm on a roll! Two designs in two days!
Anyways, as the title says, this is an armored destroyer, with her main guns taken from old scrapped coastal defence ships.
And, like last time, here is some backstory:
During the late middle of the 1930s, the bad atmosphere in Europe would promt many a nation to start expanding their military forces. Erikrike, despite being protected from Germany by Gotrige, started a new naval build-up plan, which consisted among other ships, two light aviation cruisers and four armoured destroyers, the latter armed with 6" main artillery.
Becouse of economic reasons, one would use the secondary artillery pieces from a newly scrapped batch of CDSs. The guns were modernized, and slapped into the new hulls. The first ship was completed in spring 1940, and the rest was finished later the same year or the year after.
The ships would do a good neutrality service, but were not the best seaboats, understandable becouse of their heavy artillery. They were all scrapped during the 50s, due to their obsolete guns and low speed(30kn).

Hope you like it!

I have to admit that I very much like your naval ensign!, but, since this is a Scandinavian (???) country afterall, I'd like to see it, at least two 'tongues' or forks, but certainly, and preferrably three!

Hm...will do.. I'm thinking two larger ones and one smaller between them.
Nothing on the design?
And yes, "Scandinavia" is pretty remodeled. But the culture is largely the same.

You'll probably want a bit more room around your 6in guns

UPDATED!

Much better! I guess it's a matter of taste rather than a vexiollogical problem, whether two thicker and one thin fork is aesthetic or not. I'm a traditionalist , so I'd prefer equal sized forks. But overall a definitive improvement; now I gather that you'll alter the ensign on your airplane cruiser?!?

Of cource! I'll get to it later though, I'm currently working on a (probably, but not deffinately) never-were "superdreadnought armored cruiser" á 15 000 tonnes and ten 9,45". If I don't watch out I might get effective.
