These look very good side views. The only problem I can see is the breadth of the Barcelona heavy cruisers would not take triple 15" turrets. Also have a look at the Dunkerque class, they spread the turrets like that so that one big shell hit would not stop both turrets from working. Keep up the goo...

Thanks for that Ace, Unfortunately, to keep the ship, it must be in a condition that complies with the WNT, which means the armour must go. Yes the engines are kept as is. Despite having fought a war, as per normal the battleships spent less time at sea than most, which meant their machinery did not...

Thanks for your comments Hood, I never know how far the beginning scene setting should go. The 1927 reactivation refit included the removal of the deck armour and the replacement of half the boilers with oil fired ones (the other half were removed completely). This allowed a clean slate for building...

The two battleships St Vincent and Collingwood were used as static training ships from 1919 to 1927, in a demilitarised condition. Boilers, turrets and armour had been removed to comply with the Washington Treaty. In 1927 they were reactivated to seagoing condition to replace the aged WW1 County cla...

The 5 secondary directors are the simple rangefinders (4 on the bridge and 1 between aft funnel and aft main director) ?

I do not think they would be able to function as dual purpose directors for your 5".

Looks alright Karle94,

I have been trying to identify the dual purpose directors for the 5". At least 4, possibly 6 somewhere?

If you are sourcing US parts, the Kingfishers would be a good match.

Howdy JSB,

One concept I don't see is an all (2x2-6") guns forward design with the hangar/transport area running from the fore funnel to as far aft as you like with the catapult and crane at the stern.

Once you get to 1942 the options become wider, you could license build the Avenger which was the stand out torpedo bomber on the Allied side. Its that 1938-to-late 41 period where the FAA has the Swordfish/Albacore as the frontline torpedo bombers that I would like to fill with something British and...
