Thank you all for your helpful and kind words
@Novice - I tried to keep the armament and armour relatively low for a 'cheap and simple' type cruiser, as their role would primarily see them protecting trade against commerce raiders rather than engaging in fleet actions. They will be followed by a class of larger cruisers more along the lines of the Towns for some added punch
@Obsydian Shade - I'm always happy to have neighbours, it makes the wide open ocean more 'homely'
@Redhorse - One of my goals with this AU was to make a country that would fit into the real world without too much squinting of eyes and tilting of heads to imagine, so I'm glad you approve (I also took some hints from your excellent AU too)
@Hood - Thanks, I was aiming for realism
The secondaries are supposed to be 4in singles and 2pdr AA singles though - I may have used the wrong parts by accident?
