Hello everyone!

Today I present the USS Chicago, CG-11, an Albany-class guided missile cruiser. She has been made as a Baltimore-class heavy gun cruiser before retrofitted extensively as a missile cruiser.



The hull of the Chicago has been drawn by Colosseum as the USS Baltimore. Anything wrong with, please do tell!

Thank You!

Splendid!

I do wonder how they managed to solve the top-weight issue on her?

BTW. Remember to add on the missiles, they should be placed above the ship.
- AAW missile pointing up
- ASuW missile pointing horizontally

The drawing should also be put on a proper template:

oh she is quite and update, from that one we have in the archive

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback, here're some updates:



Thank You!

Missiles above the launchers, you know, you can check the archive on how we do it

Oh thanks. This is my first time doing a ship armed with a missile so bear with me.

I'm very happy to see this finally represented. One of my favorites, and it's an excellent drawing.

How solid is your sourcing on the paint scheme of the ship's boats? I can't specifically lock down 1963, but none of the color photos I've seen from the 1960s show haze gray.

Yeah, seems to be on me. It now has a splash of black, and there're more fixes.

I served aboard Albany. You’ve done a very fine rendering of one God ugly ship.

Thanks for the memories.
