Did not find the same exact blue brint but found one very similar. It only has 8 funs instead of 10 (3 on each side rather than 4) but at the size it will be rezised to you will not notice or I can easily photoshop it in, but other than that very similar looking.
Just need to find it in my folders.
For now here are some stats I made up from the info I got
3 hull points
Armor 2
VA 8
Main guns:
0 6
1 5/6/5
2 4/5/4
3 2/3/2
TT
0 1
SAs
All full ahead
Survior
Reason for the survivor ability: hit by 17 150mm shells and suffered casualties of 29 men killed and 49 wounded
Or the other option was something very similar to the hulking mass ability from the ground game (sorry Lothar for mentioning the ground game... again)
differnt SA would be
rough and rugged: This ship ignores the first hit of hull point damage. If this ship recieves hit equal or greater to its vital armor it is still sunk.
Cost:
Did not find hers, but found her sisters
money cost: £1,150,000 Point Cost: 17
It was to be sold to Greece but in 1915 England bought it for their own need.
What do you think as far as stats go?

| Yes, the 12pdr was intended as an AA gun, but I'm not sure if it was ever mounted. I believe both ships commissioned with a 3pdr instead. |

Instead of tertiary guns, perhaps Defensive Armament. Looks good to me if the Schematic works out. Thank you Jesse. _________________ Gaming for 36 Years.

Look exactly the same? no. Pretty similar? I think so.

???? The vertical 0 1 2 3 in JJ's stats aren't batteries, they're ranges. The Chester's total armament was 10 x 5.5"/50, 1 AA gun, and two torpedo tubes; not too likely it would have secondary and tertiary guns.
Apparently, the 5.5" guns on the two Birkenhead-class cruisers had almost the same range and penetration as the standard RN 6" gun but had a higher rate of fire due to the lighter shell. I don't know whether this evens out -slightly less damage per shell but more shells in the air- or deserves an SA like Rapid Fire. _________________ LT
