Nice to see this AU back up and running.
The Alexander Class looks great.

Very nice looking heavy cruiser I must say. Can definitely see the County class heritage in the high sided hull.

Gorgeous.
Even better than the already excellent Alexander class.

Very attractive. I like the layout a lot -- sort of reminiscent of a British-flavored Cleveland. I think I would have tried to work in some amidships aircraft facilities, though. At least in US doctrine of the time, a scout cruiser with no floatplanes can't do much quality scouting.

This is another excellent addition, I love the looks of this cruiser and the drawing is first rate quality too.

Although not labelled as such (though it probably should be I guess) the drawing represents HMRS Kimberley in 1945, by which time British practice seems to have done away with aviation facilities due to improvements in radar technology. As commissioned though, at least the earlier ships in the class would likely have had some aircraft facilities that I'll hopefully get around to drawing at some stage.
