Wielki krążownik Constitucion - 30.05.2012

Dzisiejszy okręt jest zainspirowany rysunkiem (prezentowanym poniżej w dwóch wariantach malowania) znalezionym na forum http://wesworld.jk-clan.de Jest to chilijski wielki krążownik (choć w myśl postanowień traktatu waszyngtońskiego – jest to pancernik) uzbrojony w 10-calówki, idealny do zwalczania argentyńskich krążowników ciężkich typu Veinticinco de Mayo, którym w rzeczywistości w latach 30-tych chilijska Marynarka Wojenna nie miała co przeciwstawić. Wygląd jednostki (kształt kadłuba, stewy dziobowej, masztów, katapulta na rufie) sugeruje jej prawdopodobnie amerykańską proweniencję, choć w rzeczywistości działa 10-calowe były budowane chyba jedynie przez Boforsa. Ale w sumie chyba nic nie stało by na przeszkodzie, by Szwedzi dostarczyli je na chilijski okręt budowany w USA, albo sprzedali licencję.
