Re: 1927 Programme Surrey Class & 1929 Programme Heavy Cruisers
These would been classified as Super Cruiser without the 25.4 cm and 23 cm guns :P But with an auto-loading mechanism system like Uss De Moines, it would be dangerous against the IJN CAs and CLs on the Battle of The Java Seas if the Royal Navy have excellent radar fire control directors and use them ...

Re: Mister Hoover's Navy
How about the monoplane naval fighters in your AU navy by the mid 1930s? Will they started as poor cousins of the Boeing P-26(fixed landing gear and open cockpit) or the beginnings of your versions of the Grumman Wildcat or that maligned Brewster Buffalo fighters. I know Grumman made the FF-1, F2F ...

Re: American Capital Ships
Oh boy, I hate to be Kaiserliche Marine captains of the Admiral Graf Maximilian von Spee's in the Falklands to encounter 3 Maine ACR classes if these ships were actual UK allied types. Those 10" guns and 8" guns can inflicted terrible damage to his squadron, if they crossed his T and give one ...

There's a possible sea battle scenario that HMS Incomparable and two more of her sisters could get involved. In Otto Preminger's movie, In Harm's Way, Operation Skyhook(an fictional version of Operation Watchtower or another addition fictional island objective to the Solomon Campaign) is a success ...
