About the ship
After signing the Washington Naval Treaty, Great Britain immediately got down to the task of designing cruisers. One of the great enthusiasts for the development of a new cruiser class was Sir George Thurston, who designed such ships as Kongō and Erin. Back in 1923, he published an essay that described the general features of cruisers of the future. In 1926, he presented three cruiser projects to the Royal Navy—projects A and B resembled the County-class cruisers, while project C turned out to be more radical. It envisaged the arrangement of main battery turrets at the bow to achieve a better concentration of fire. The Admiralty, however, assumed a more conservative approach than Thurston, and the project was left without consideration.
