For Byzantium, two options emerged for 1942:
- 3000-ton frigates with twin 133mm automatic DP guns.
- 6000-ton cruisers with twin 152 or 191mm automatic guns.

The weight we arrive at for automatic guns will effect my plans.

I have been using the 3000 ton class more, and expect to evolve those lines, likely similar to what you're thinking.

For fleet cruisers, I seem to be looking at more 7200-7500 than 6000, armed with 165mm.

If I keep producing 180-215mm ships, they will remain 10,000 tons or so. I may just shift from 2xCruiser to 1xArmored Cruiser, with the latter having a TDS and thicker armored deck resisting aerial attack.

Welcome back Darman :)

Rocky's busy with real life, Jefgte and Tac should say "hi" soon enough.

Anyhow, Darman's going to look into his old Iberian position.

I've pointed him to where we had been working, and he can define if 7 how he'd like to proceed.
Basically the 1910-1923 builds will be canon, the 1923-1937 optional.

Darman is back!
Iberian Empire is reborn.

We eagerly await your SS.

Byzantium will place a division of DDs under your command in Gibraltar.

You mean "The New Byzantine Undersea Adventureland" ?

Strange to say, but I'm in demand as a photography model this month.

Shot a "Phantom of the Opera" themed set this past Monday with a second model and three photographers.

Shot a sequence of burning newspaper pics last night with a guy.

Doing a ghoulish picnic with a second model and two photographers on Monday.

Dressing up as Jason Voorhees for a shoot this Wednesday.

Playing an evil CEO in a large movie-themed shoot the next day.

Not getting a lot of time in for ships, but maybe next weekend I'll want nothing more than to design a submarine tender.
