[P3D]

Get another half knots speed (equal to the KKs). And a third 7.5" turret. Make the secondaries 4".

[Borys]

Ahoj!
In heavier seas this ship will be faster than the KKs.
You think 16 (I doubt if I can find deckspace for more) four inch guns would be better against 500-1000 torpedo boats/destroyers?

BTW - putting the 6 inchers in casemattes saves me several hundered tons ...
