(SpringSharp design by Brockpaine)

This was a quick design I drew up for Alvama as an example of a 9x6" light cruiser to improve the Peruvian Navy. I did leave a bit of hull strength left over for the addition of more AA guns, by the way. All gun calibers are already in Peruvian service (I expect the 150mm guns to be German, like the guns used on the Independencia-class DDs but in triple mounts...)

It's an ok design but I think something a bit bigger is needed. All the Chilean cruisers are pretty big and powerful. I think 12 x 150mm guns are needed at least. 16 x 150mm as on the latest Italian cruisers are nice...

Hey, I have a cruiser design like that!

...I called it a heavy cruiser, though.

Edit: Found it!

Old design, I'd probably switch out the 130mm DP and 57mm AA for either a load of 3" or some 110mm DP guns...

Old design, I'd probably switch out the 130mm DP and 57mm AA for either a load of 3" or some 110mm DP guns...

The Italian design is in need of a little updating as well. Most likely ditch the catapult and hangar and go with twin funnels instead of the current trunked arrangement. Probably a sprinkling of 76/62 singles instead of the 100/47 guns as well. I'll have to have a go at drawing something up.

If Peru's interested in larger CL designs, a possibility would be an updated version of the General Belgrano design that Germany built for Argentina. See this thread http://wesworld.jk-clan.de/thread.php?threadid=3623&sid= for details on the original ships.

C'mon guys! If you sell Peru bigger cruisers, then I gotta build even bigger ones! I was hoping to keep the cost of the Magellanes-class below 9,500 tons...

Or I suppose I could build another quartet...

I want to have something in the style of other AEGIS countries. I wanted to Have Dutch/Italian style. I'd love that vessel of Red-Admiral. I need to be updated if I look Chile's cruisers

The Iberians don't have much in the way of larger light cruisers, if you're going to go Italian (for commonality with allies, as opposed to current equipment), then the new Italian cruisers make sense.

How about this? Added new FC directors and changed the AA armament to 76/62 singles and 37/54 quadruple mountings.

Looks Great redadmiral! If I make the Peruvian cruiser I really sure this will be a good insperation!!

Can I start with a drawing for next week?

I still think a larger ship would be a better idea in order to effectively combat other similar ships. This is cheaper, but not as good. With a limited budget I think that fewer, but better, ships are the better option.

Honestly, I'll have to (reluctantly) agree with Red Admiral on this one. Reluctantly... because it's my ships which are the most notable possible enemies for a Peruvian CL. If Peru builds a bigger CL than 12x6", that stands a chance of throwing my own planned Magellanes-class to the dogs.

Let's look at the most likely regional opposition:

Quoted

Maunga Terevaka-class CL (Chile) - 1 ship
8x6" guns, 32 knots, 3" belt, 1.5" deck

Atacama-class CL (Chile) - 3 ships
12x6" guns, 31 knots, 4.1" belt, 1.57" deck

Astraea-class CLAA (Chile) - 2 ships
16x5.12" guns, 33 knots, 3.15" belt, 30mm deck

Buenaventura-class CLAA (Colombia) - 1 ship
12x5.12" guns, 32 knots, 60mm belt, 40mm deck

Carabobo-class CL (Colombia) - 2 ships
5x5.5" guns, 30 knots, 80mm belt, 20mm deck

Francisco de Miranda-class CL (Colombia) - 3 ships (old)
8x4.33" guns, 27 knots, 1" deck

Acapulco and Hermosillo-class CLs (Mexico) - 4 ships
10x6" guns, 32 knots, 3.5" belt, 1.5" deck

Only four of these ships (the Chilean Astraeas, the Maunga Terevaka, and the Buenaventura) are faster than 32 knots, and usually by very small margins. Note on the Mexican ships - all four of those vessels are in the Pacific, and the weaker Mexican cruisers are in the Atlantic.

A modern 9x6" cruiser per the above might stand a decent chance against the Mexican CLs; a 12x6" ship would do even better against them, and would be able to fight the Chilean Atacamas on an equal footing.

Here's an attempt to sim a CL capable of equaling the Mexican CLs and the Chilean Atacamas while still keeping the tonnage affordable.

I suspect that's a reference towards various Heavy and Super cruisers, as well as other powers that may operate in the area (US, UK, etc)

I suspect that's a reference towards various Heavy and Super cruisers, as well as other powers that may operate in the area (US, UK, etc)

The region's heavy or armoured cruisers are all pretty far out of the league of a single CL, with the lonely exception of the Chilean Ojos del Salado-class - now down to one unit (Volcan Osorno). Trying to build a CL which has a chance against a heavyd cruiser like Constitucion is going to get really darned expensive. Even the Mexican Villas are going to be a challenge for any 6" gunned cruiser, unless you take them by surprise at night, with torpedoes; but even a DD can do that.

And I only counted, as I stated, regional opposition. The USN Brooklyns are 12x6" + 12x5" and very good ships; the Atlantean Acestus and Cerasus-class are lighter CLs than what I just proposed; the Iberians have nothing bigger than 9x6" or 12x5"; the British can bring so many CLs it's barely even worth discussing; the Brazilian Sagitério-class is 9x6", their Almirante Barroso-class 15x6"; and the Argentines have some 15x6" CLs as well.

Miss anything?

If we're trying to design a light cruiser that can beat a 30s/40s-Era armoured cruiser, then why not try something with six quad 6" turrets and a 9" belt? I've got one of those in my design file, too...
