As part of my worklist, to update the ships of the Royal Navy, I have done some of the C class cruisers. Built during the first world war, most served also during WW2, many as AA cruisers.
HMS Caradoc was one of the few that served unconverted

HMS Coventry was the prototype AA cruiser conversion (along with HMS Curlew)

later slightly modified, she was sunk in the Mediterranean Sea in 1942. Shown as in 1940 with false bow wave and colored in measure 507.

HMS Calcutta as converted to AA cruiser

More ships will follow.

THX DP. I'm working on HMS Caroline as in 1914. HMS Caradoc is little changed from her 1918 appearance.

nice, but the rangefinders....they don't look good with just one black and one dark grey pixel. Draw them three pixel wide with black-grey-black pixels
