Player:
This very controversial ship is Iberia's Royal Yacht.

King Enrique himself forced the quad turrets and this ship on the admiralty against strong protests. The turrets are dual cradle ones. Parliament went amok but could not stop the construction since HM is paying for 50% of it out of his own purse. One of the main objections is against building a worthless light cruiser that counts under the Treaty of Cleito limitations. The ship is too slow, doesn't carry torpedoes and not enough AAA. The 1200 ts of luxury accommodations really screw the design up ;-)

The 57 mm are triplets

In a way it is an experimental vessel to try out new ideas. This really is the reason why the admiralty agreed to "The King's toy". Ideas can be validated without tying up major fleet units.

The looks of the ship should be imagined as follows:
3 storey deckhouse
2 raked funnels
colour scheme yellow with black hull like vicorian warships and classic yachts
Eagle figurehead
goldwork bow and stern
stern gallery (like HMS RoyalSovereign)

Ok folks, beat me and build something weirder :-))

Balista Class Light Cruiser

The Balista class light cruisers are also incremental improvements on the preceding Espada Ropera class; basically, the only material change is additional miscellaneous weight set aside for electronics and fire control as a result of lighter engine weights.

A run of six units is foreseen as replacement of older light cruisers continues at pace.
