Overview
A further development of the light cruiser design, armed with sixteen 152 mm guns—a configuration considered in Great Britain in the late 1930s. The arrangement is distinctive in that it concentrates three of the four main battery turrets—and thus most of the ship’s firepower—in the forward section. Had she been embodied in metal after World War II, the cruiser could have been transferred to a Commonwealth country.
