The line of battleships for Argentina from the British firm Vickers continues!
This is my idea for the mixed armed version of design 286.
Here I placed more turrets on the hull by mixing 10" twins with singles, while on the sides a pyramidal arrangement I chose, reminiscent of the Japanese Furutaka class heavy cruisers.
The design had the following characteristics:
Dimensions: unknown probably 153,62 (pp) 162,25 (wl) x 24,38 x 7,62m
Displacement: unknown, around 20.000tons (standard)
Armour: unknown probably 38-42mm Deck, 229-254mm Belt
Engines: unknown around 21-24.000shp, steam turbines, 4 shafts
Speed: 39km/h (21knots)
Armaments:
4x2 12"/45 (305mm/45) Vickers Mk B Cannons,
2x2,4x1 10"/50 (254mm/50) Vickers Mk C Guns,
4x2 12x1 4,7"/50 (120mm/50) Vickers Mk A Guns,
4x1 457mm Underwater Torpedo Tubes
