I suspect that once we've seen the RotB2 Americans that it won't be too hard to develop some pretty good approximations of the ships that you want. . . . besides, they might already be included in RotB2 . . . we just have to wait and see.

True... but I was thinking specifically about the St. Louis-class of protected cruisers...
AC size, but PC protection and armament. Awkward, to say the least. But, as you say, most likely do-able.

The good news, fastgit, is that it will have more "Hull Points" . . . the bad news is that it will attract shells because of its size . . . so it might work well as a "screening" ship allowing your more dangerous vessels to close on the enemy . . . of course it could be hard on the crews of the St. Louis class ships.

Heh. Let's face it... the USN of the early 20th century was not the cruiser navy it becomes by the end of WWII (and into the missile era). Until the 20's, they're all about the battleship and the destroyer.

Harry, I realize the list is set for RotB 2 and I definately do not want to start anything that would further delay release. Just wondering if First Sino-Japanese war is addressed in RotB2 at all? I saw panzerschiffe has many of the models and noticed some were included in RotB especially IJN as they participated in RJW. I did some reading and it appears ther is an opportunity for some scenarios. If not in RotB2 maybe a good project for the shipyard.
