Hmm, having someone fund a Peruvian carrier would be most interesting, and such a ship would have a very high probability of meeting an unfortunate accident...perhaps you could order it from the Phillipines.

IMO, it would be strategically sensible for AEGIS to fund a Peruvian carrier, which with a smaller Iberian carrier could counter Chile's fleet in the Pacific, but thats JMHO.

That's technically a sound move, particularly as most nations wouldn't be perfectly aware of the specifics relating to Chile's Libertad design.

In truth, I'd welcome further Peruvian carrier interest, as it would give me rationale to build another geisha cruiser and two more CVLs, which is by far what I'd prefer to building more battlewagons, with the price-tag that implies. 1 CA (18,261t) + 2 CVL (12,400t) = 43,061 tons for three first-rate ships, versus around the same amount for a modern fast dreadnought... much better bargain, IMHO.

well for BBs/BCs this is more like what I would rather be building. its anadaptation of one of my Navalisim ships so things like secondaries arnt exactly perfect to Peru

Why the casemate guns?

Not to mention it's a LOT bigger than Guise and Villar are: 14000+ tons vs 24000+.

Actually Villar class are 22000+. The Grau is 14000+

Ah, OK, I thought those were the same, my error.
