Nowy krążownik kolonialny

Kolejne podejście do tematu małego krążownika kolonialnego. Tym razem jest to adaptacja norweskiego krążownika Viking, którego projekt został lekko zmodyfikowany. W porównaniu z poprzednikiem (chodzi o okręt z 14 lutego: http://springsharp.blogspot.com/2014/02/krazownik-kolonialny.html ) okręt ma cięższą i nowocześniejszą artylerię (2 działa szybkostrzelne kal. 152 mm usytuowane w linii symetrii okrętu wobec 4 dział 107 mm na burtach w poprzednim typie). Wymiary, prędkość, poziom ochrony  kadłuba pozostały z grubsza na podobnym poziomie co na starszych jednostkach, ale to nie jest wielki problem, biorąc pod uwagę kolonialny charakter okrętu.

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
    Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
      585 lbs / 265 Kg = 5,5 x 6,0 " / 152 mm shells or 0,3 torpedoes
    Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1,38
