Description Design proposal for the new light cruiser being built in the Destroyermen series.
With thanks to those who have previously posted art in this series and inspired this effort.
The design is based on an improved Omaha Class cruiser using technology the folks in that world have available.

Thanks!  I'll be rebuilding this one in the future, after I'm done with an "improved Walker".

Exellent job!

But still several problems:

- I'm afraid, the 8000 ton displacement are too small. Even the real "Omaha"'s have a lot of stability problems. You ship have much greater upper weight due to the raised turrets.
- 3-inch main deck would not fit in such displacement. Or 3-inch are only slopes?
