Here's my thoughts on the early war Tromp as it appeared in the ABDA forces.
HNLMS Tromp
Hull: 17 Speed: 9 FC: Std AV: 6 SAV: 1 AA/ASW: 2/1
Move Step: Cruiser Shoot Step: Cruiser
Secondary Battery Layout:
Size Guns/Turret #Turrets Arc of Fire
5.9”/50 2 2 F/P/S
5.9”/50 2 1 A/P/S
Gun Data:
Size:5.9”/50 S:10 M:20 L:30 X:40 Pen:3 Dmg:3
Torpedo Data:
Size S M L Mount Number Arc
21” 4 8 12 Triple 2 P/S
Aircraft:
1 x Recon, 1 x Flt Ops.
The website I mentioned in the De Ruyter thread does state that the Tromp carried Radar and Asdic however these were upgrades added whilst in drydock in Sydney after it was badly damaged in early 1942 so I have deliberately left the ASW at 1 to account for the depth charges and hydrophone array.
Any thoughts?

These are looking good. I am going to steal you layout format for the BR ships. Thanks for sharing....I am looking forward to some Java Sea action. When you are done with the Dutch maybe you have a scenario in mind  |

Cheers Afilter. They're coming along nicely, I just have to finish off the destroyers and the Jacob van Heemskerck, though she saw little action anywhere and was almost exclusively on escort duty so I'm not really motivated to do it. It has been really good bouncing ideas and thoughts off other players, thankyou Shigure, and has certainly made making the ships up easier. This was a great idea.
As for a scenario I have one in mind for a mixed Abda force making a dash from Surabaya down through the straits between Bali and Lombok. Only a rough idea at the moment so I'll keep you posted.
