Spanish Civil War vessels

#1 Post by reytuerto »

Good afternoon.
Here is the drawing of the Spanish light cruiser Navarra after the refit, shown in the closing days of the Spanish Civil War.

Thanks to Char for his aid with the skeg shading.
Cheers.

Looks good, always been intrigued by Navarra's tower superstructure from her later refit, it is so unlike much else from the period.

@reytuerto
I believe that, you must deeply re-examine your drawing

Good morning guys.
Two francoist destroyers of italian origin: Ceuta (ex-Falco) and Melilla (ex-Aquila).
Both destroyers were transfered in October 1937, and were fitted with a fourth wooden fake funnel and were named Velasco-Ceuta and Velasco Melilla, in that way, they tried to fool the republican intelligence by confusing the new vessels with the only nationalist destroyer, Velasco.
