I have decided to design the project in 3D with the internal fitting out.
Probably more than a year of great work.
Here is the first part of the design.

Keel is laid down :lol_spit_1:

Hull is devised in 16 watertight compartments
Keel is designed with 32 half-compartments.
Image

Image

Image

Each half compartment is 5.6 x 2.44

This method of design take too much time, I decide to change...



Here are some pics of the UP at in the original built.

You can see in this pic the possibility to remove Q turrets & install in the place new diesels. Then, the speed increase to over 28kts.

More pics to come...

I like that 2T3x150 layout for a secondary, that makes me think of K-Class turrets. Another thought might be building heavier AA emplacements in place of Q Turret. Speaking of Heavy AA, not sure on the coverage given by the second set of 88's, perhaps putting them on the aft superstructure might give better all-round coverage, since their forward arcs are impeded by the forward turrets? Just a thought.

Beautiful work though, far better at CAD than I could be any time immediately.
