Hopefully no errors...
Edit: Forgot to launch the Ginchiyo class this Quarter...
Edit 2: Realized that when looking at the news, it would be better to lay down the Argentine carriers after the announcement that Japan was the winner of the competition.

(*) Not knowing the proper Argentine designation for their naval ships, the Japanese designers just created one using a dictionary. MABdG stands for Marina Argentina Barco de Guerra ('Argentine Navy Warship'). :)

While the ship in general looks a lot like a late british COLONY-class untsi (with C turret removed) I wonder if you´ll find good firing arcs for so many light weapons.

Further more - a BC of 0,475 is rather low for a cruiser her size. I wonder if you wouldn´t gain some armor if using a shorter but wider hull (lower L.B ratio) with a higher BC. She isn´t overly fast and so you might benefit from a different hull form....

The Undiine class (Former Aria class) is an already existing class, the first five ships having been completed late June 1932 and became operational at the end of 1932.
At the last moment I decided to make the last ship slightly different, just as there is a slight difference between the Hiryu and the Soryu (the latter with a minor extension being a little longer overall which is simmed with a different bow angle). But the idea was to keep the sim almost identical to the already existing class. If I were to alter BC & dimensions on this design, I would have to alter them on the already existing design as well.
... and if I am not mistaken, I already gave you a list of existing ships with a lower BC than 0.475 in another thread (especially those bigger CAs and CVs).
