Thank you! I decided to make this cruiser spontaneously, in response to the emergence of alternative history "World Tsar Michael version 7" In 1915 Russian light cruisers from 12 152 mm guns located in the 4 linearly lofty towers. The author of this story is not meant an adequate response to England at the cruisers, and therefore a sign of protest, I have prepared a draft, though I took with the characteristics of real British cruisers Kent. :D

Dimensions and artillery "Hawkins" correspond to those that I cited above - 195/196,4x20,1x7,5 m,
though the main fire can be increased from 190 mm to 203 mm, I do not know whether developed in Britain during the Great War, new artillery guns with a caliber 203 mm.

Thanks in advance!
