Альтернативный тяжёлый крейсер «Айрон Дюк». Англия

Очередное творение мастеров военно-морской альтернативы с «Wesworld». Как вы видите это тяжёлый крейсер «Айрон Дюк». В реальной истории аналога этого корабля нет (или я чего-то пропустил). С таким названием был линкор Первой Мировой Войны, прослуживший в Королевском Флоте аж до 1946 года.
