A 1914 versioni of my British light cruiser

This type wants greater size, but for 1914, all I was willing to do was to go up to 475ft and raise the speed to 28 knots. The second gun aft is in the superfiring position. The armament is still just 7-6in guns and 4-21in TT. The belt is 3in and the deck is 2in. They have decent range with a maximum range of 5500nm at 16 knots. This is the Springsharp report:
