A photo of a "Super Swift" at speed

In 1912, one of the alternative designs considered for a new British light cruiser as the "Super Swift". The Super Swift was an enlarged and faster version of the original Swift design. My estimate of the length is 370 ft. The armament included 6-4in QF guns. I estimate that the torpedo armament might have been 4-21in TT. The original idea was to have a speed of 37 knots, but they realized that they could add 2in side armor over the machinery spaces for a slight reduction in speed, so they did. The idea was to be able to "flash off" 12pdr hits.
