Вероятно, в этом мире Китай не потерпел сокрушительного поражения от Японии и продолжил своё развитие. Это привело к создание целого семейства тяжёлых крейсеров. Вот один из них. Похож на какой то гибрид эпох. Вооружение и обводы корпуса — предвоенной эпохи, а трубы и надстройки ещё со времён эпохи броненосцев. Да и ТТХ тоже той эпохи. Что называется ни туда ни сюда, для тяжёлого крейсера маловато, а для лёгкого корабль великоват. Другими словами — хорошая мишень. Хотя скорость ни чего, может ещё удрать.
