Title: "6" A.A. Cruiser - 6 Twin Turrets - Scheme ... not submitted"
Description: Photo #: S-511-47 6 A.A. Cruiser - 6 Twin Turrets - Scheme ... not submitted Preliminary design plan prepared for the General Board during the development of a light cruiser with rapid-firing 6/47 anti-aircraft guns, which ultimately became the Worcester (CL-144) class. This plan, dated 20 October 1941, is for a 664-foot (waterline length) ship with twelve main battery guns. Originally labeled Scheme E, the E has been crossed out. That letter was assigned several months later to a smaller, ten-gun design (see Photo # S-511-55). Scale of the original drawings is 1/32 = 1'. The original plan is in the 1939-1944 Spring Styles Book held by the Naval History and Heritage Command. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph.
