Title: "6" A.A. Cruiser - 5 Twin Turrets - Scheme E"
Description: Photo #: S-511-55 6 A.A. Cruiser - 5 Twin Turrets - Scheme E 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 11 July 1942, is for a 600-foot (waterline length), 11,500 (standard displacement) ship with ten main battery guns, representing an effort to limit size by reducing armor protection. 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.
