Svetlana-Class [Top]

The KIN Svetlana, as seen in East Fleet standard livery, from above

 

Although technically a Torpedo Cruiser, the Svetlana-Class were a new and promising foray into the design of a fleet mainstay, the light protected cruiser. Whilst not as heavily armed or protected as even the previous generation of Manqing-era ships, she and the other members of her class featured more modern weapons, higher top speeds, and more protected casemate areas. Her six 5" Long-barrel guns had a high range, and her fore, aft, and twin mount swiveling torpedoes gave the ship powerful close-range armament as well. A secondary battery of three 2" QF-guns and three 1" QF guns for anti-TB operations are also notable. Featuring armor decks of 1.3" thickness and a citadel consisting of a 1" armored box around the engines and magazines, the ship was also quite well protected despite its small size and fast nature.

Thanks a ton to Awe and Sebas for their advice. Inspired by the actual Russian protected yacht Svetlana, and Awe's Weosule

Very proud of this, but I'll probably be replacing these pictures soon with better ones.
