Cruiser - Design Study A Preliminary design plan prepared for the General Board during consideration of a light cruiser with twin mounts for semi-automatic 5/54 dual-purpose guns, as originally intended for the abortive Montana class battleships. This scheme, dated 20 June 1942, provides five of these gun mounts in a hull based on that of the Atlanta (CL-51) class. It was not further developed. Scale of the original drawings is 1/32 = 1'.
