Thanks for another rum ration Drach A well done and comprehensive look at a vastly underrated ship. In fact the whole Town and Crown classes are underrated. Despite being classed as CL's due to their 6inch guns, they carried armour as good as the supposedly superior German and Japanese ships and it was better distributed. All this on a displacement that complied with the Treaty's, unlike the Germans and Japanese who dishonourably lied and broke their oaths.

A longer gun means the propellant burns more completely and thus having a greater muzzle velocity and range, but can a gun be too long and thus cause problems?
