Here is the other ship I mentioned. A heavy battleship to bolster the Pacific fleet. I am planning on laying her down probably as early as Q4/1937, but it would require the use of an Ally's slip.
Pic was a quick and dirty draft using a couple of Brock's drawings. It is not accurate.

Sorry, the drawing was a last minute thing. I just slapped Constitucion's superstructure on the Almirante. So I forgot to credit Wes.
Like I said the drawing is very rough. I'll eventually add more rangefinders, the secondaries, and other details to it.

Mexico is hoping to use the Chilean 17" guns, maybe even have the ship built in Chile.

Any thoughts on the ship itself?

If you'd like, I can fix up a better drawing with correct secondary and tertiary guns.

As long as we can have it launched by Q4/1939, I've got a spare slip open. I'm sure we could come to a suitably beneficial deal.

I'd say it meets most if not all of my major design criteria. The one thing which I wouldn't do is make a split battery of 6" and 5" DP; but that's not a design-killing issue, more a personal taste thing.
Oh, and your 47mm mounts are breech-loaders, I suspect that's wrong.

That would be most welcome.

That could be cutting it close but can be done. By suitably beneficial deal you mean no payments, right? After all the Chileans used the Villa look without paying...![]()

I've thought about it and it just doesn't feel right with just 5" guns. It would be either undergunned, or have a ridiculous AA armament.
Also half the 6" inchers are in DP mounts and the 5"s are in AA mounts. Have to fix that, and possibly add another pair of 5" turrets.
