Photo of a US/CL/1937 class light cruiser
This is a photo of the 37-knot light cruiser with 15-6in QF, 8-5in AA, 40-1.1in AA, and 12-21in TT. The armour basis is 4in. The ship is 16,231 tons Standard Displacement.
I spent 11 years on active duty in the navy. Half was as an enlisted man and half as an officer. My Dad had interested me in the navy and ships, when I was young. I found that I was attracted to doing research, regardless of topic, although much of that research has been in the fields of naval and military history. My Dad was also an artist, and got me drawing and painting since I was three. Much of my work consists of portraits of military and naval historical figures, as well as ships and tanks.
