The large light cruiser is part joke, part thought exercise, and almost certainly never to be built.

Interesting thoughts on the 250 howitzer.  I have time in 2/32 to add a casemate to the mount options.

hmm, looks like I failed at posting yesterday.
how annoying.

I'll summarize :
*45,000 tons & 30 knots - I can't meet my design goals at that speed on that tonnage. I have some ~55,000 ton designs that manage that.

*21,000tons & 150mm - thought provoking.  Excellent for soft kill of a vessel. Enough barrels to ensure consistent hits at low probabilities. Smallish burst radius on the 150mm and limited splinter potential.
Potentially devastating at short ranges, night and in bad weather, but very limited in other aspects.
Unless aerial spotting or FC radar assured, very weak at long normal combat ranges against vessels of similar displacement. These longer ranges also tend to be associated with lower ROF to allow for impact/adjust/fire cycles.
The imbalanced armor is an interesting choice, which seems designed to stop armored cruiser shells at 21-26km,
not a horrid design, but it may proove difficult to close at an useful rate to where the 150mm will shine without taking serious hits.

*130mm as too slow. - I think the RN 114 was a very nice weapon, and have fielded my copy of it as the 115L47.
That does not - in my opinion- mean the 130mm class was too slow.  The RN 5.25 is 133mm and the gun that comes to mind, but the mk I mounting had numerous flaws including being cramped, which slowed it down. The MkII was supposed to be satisfactory.  The USN 5"/38 is 127mm, and had similar rates of fire to the 114mm, while being a wildly successful design. I think the 'too slow' aspect of the 5.25" is partly true as it pushed the upper limit of easy shell loading, but also because of a bad design. I do not agree that's a reason to dismiss 130mm as 'too slow', Like most choices, it will be better for some purposes and worse for others.

*250mm -  I would think a forward casement might be a better way of expressing this.
It would come with a limited arc to start with- check
it would come with an ammo hoist..and you really don't want to hand over hand shells of that size.
A deck mount implies something you really don't need structural reinforcement for, and a pair of 250mm might be
a little hard on the deck steel. A casement is set to transfer loads to the scantlings, and so has the limited mounting locations and arcs, but the structural aspects are implied.

ok, now lets see if I can manage to hit post twice.

So, the 1st and 2nd come this weekend.

How do folks feel about moving forward ?

I am at training for work, so 5hrs from home and my books,
so while I am slowly making progress on the asked for proposed techs,
not going to make progress this week.

A follow-up to the 1926 howitzer-armed river gunboat, but with two of the much heavier new 250mm/35 pieces.

The guns are fitted side-by-side forward, with a limited traverse on their mountings (~20 degrees to either side) so the ship is basically shooting end-on at all times.  On the other hand, the targets would be static shore targets, so this shouldn't be too much of a hassle.

Limited defensive armament and armor is supplied, and speed and range reflect a role that is decidedly coastal.

Draft is shallow, so riverine operations would be feasible in some places, so long as the river is wide enough for the ship to be facing its target.
