Historically, they were scrapped long before now, so I'm facing three choices with them;

1) Scrap, proceede with a new cruiser programme

2) Modest rebuild, employ as training cruisers

3) Full rebuild

The graphic I put together is using components from the Dian (St. Laurent) class, and probably represents a full modernization. Compared to that class, it has two less 4" guns, two less twin 20mm, and no torpedoes. I could make room to put on the 4" and 20mms, but I'm wondering if that'd make her overweight.

I don't like the 5.5" layout, but having a superfiring turret forward would be too heavy, I think. I also don't like going from ten guns, to six, but I don't think there's space, or weight, for triple turrets (or 4 twin), considering they're smaller than the 6-gun St. Laurent class.

I could move the aft turrets further aft for more midships deck space if needed, but I wasn't sure it would be wise to have the two turrets so far aft. I may put torpedos on the quarterdeck, or move the turrets aft, and place them midships.

I've been having graphic problems with my trusty old roadrunner FTP space lately. I'm slowly transferring things to another FTP a friend provided me. It should work in a few minutes

Edit: okay, that one isn't working either. The link works, tho.
