The US/CA/1941 Large heavy cruiser photo
I'm afraid that I have been beating on this so much, it looks more like a drawing than a photo. The look is more like that which I wanted. I have done pencil and ballpoint ink drawings that look rather like this. This is 27,135 tons, Standard, heavy cruiser with 9-10in BLR, 16-5.1in (13cm) DP, and 56-40mm AA guns. With an 8in belt, the design is more like a modern armored cruiser than the lighter Washington Treaty heavy cruiser, which was more like a large light cruiser with 8in guns. The dimensions of a cruiser of this type are: 765ft x 85ft x 29ft.
