WoWs Cruiser Vallejo

Overview

In the summer of 1941, the Bureau of Ships began to develop a cruiser with dual-purpose main battery guns and an armored deck capable of withstanding attacks from standard bombers. One of the presented designs featured an armor belt and five twin-gun main battery turrets. This project never came to life, and subsequent endeavors to design a cruiser focused on anti-aircraft capabilities led to the development of the Worcester-class ships.
