Any stats for this vessel?

Quoted

Class B Cruisers

Completed Units

11x Insect-class torpedoboat
4x Nampula-class light cruiser

Is that a typo or a large torpedo boat?

About the MIMIRs (don´t have the SS-sheet at hand):

2000ts Standard
112x12x4 meters, bc=0,5
4x10,5cm, 4x8,8cm
50mm belt
24kn
10000nm
400ts misc weight

The vessel can carry up to 16 floatplanes accourding to misc weight. I haven´t drawn it yet but I doubt that there will be enough room for so many planes on such a small hull. We´ll see....

Regarding the torpedoboats:

No, that´s not a typo. Those are 2000ts vessels with 4x15cm guns and thus have to be rated as light cruisers accourding to the Cleito Treaty. Imagine the late-WW1 TBs the Germans build and you get the picture. I´m currently not sure if I will replace the 15cmers with smaller guns or if I simply keep things as they are. I have enough cruiser tonnage so I don´t need those 22kts occupied by that class of TBs. On the other hand the larger guns proofed unsuccessful on the german units and thus it could be wise to replace them.. Future will tell if they get modified.

Have you any stats for those new Cape class armoured cruisers that I've just noticed?

Those are the stats your intelligence service can dig out:

dimensions

approx. 200m x 21m x 6,5m
approx. 13000ts

armament

four main barbets visible
secondaries will be of 15cm caliber, four basings for mounts visible on each side of the ship
reports speak of orders placed for 88mm AA guns, most likely 16 per vessel
several light guns
so far the hull shows no sign of internal torpedo tubes

armor

orders placed for plates range from 50mm to 180mm
high quantity of 150mm plates
50mm plates are homogenous armor, 150mm and 180mm are face-hardend, the later being round shaped (barbet or CT most likely)

machinery

range is unknown but four sets of turbines are ordered with a guessed output of approx. 70000kW


That´s it... Hope it helps.

PS: I don´t have her spring* sheet at hand so I can´t simply post it. :o/

I like the fact that you stated her basic stats in a sort of intelegence dossier handed to another nations Itel. service, very realistic.
