However with the slim hull and 3 turrets forward I think her hull description would be "wave digger"

Interesting, the Indians are using the opposite approach to cruiser sub developement. instead of designing a sub to carry CA guns they just designed a CA to dip below the waves!

Better check it for leaks first, otherwise it'll dip below the waves permanently!!

Cruiser Falls Into Wave!

Headline, few days later:

Cruiser Designer Falls Into Tiger Pit!

".. when the designer fell into the pit!!"
... with a little encouragement from behind

Not to be pulling a Swamphen on y'all, but I adjusted the design slightly. I dropped the freeboard to an even 6.0 metres, which frees up sufficient hull space to add 45 t of misc. weight: 25 t for flag facilities, and 20 t for a weight reserve. Eventually, that'll probably be more light flak.

Don't worry. We're used to that... thanks to Swamphen. :-)

So, am I the Man of Mysterious Ship Revisions?

Don't worry. I just changed a few of the cruiser designs in the encyclopedia into 130,000 Godzilla Mogamis.
