And for my opening offering for the Armada Espanola I have these ships, very much based on the RN County class...but as Ireland says “...finished with bridge and funnel casing of extraordinary bulk and surpassing ugliness...”! I agree (but that's just my humble opinion)...
Baleares was lost in March 1938, Canarias was finally scrapped in 1975.
These are my proposed stats (and it doesn't necessarily mean that I'm right) – as always, everything is open for debate, and the usual disclaimers apply...
