WesWorld

I have made a missle cruiser conversion of my Uppland -class heavy cruiser.

The ship is laid down in 1950 and recives her missels ca 1960-65, she gets 1 US terrier system and a swedish Rb08 system + bofors ASW rockets.

I gave her 1250ton in extra weight, some armour can also be removed I think
