That is one cute ship! I'd actually like to see some proper detailing done for the otherwise nice top view, but overall, beautiful drawing!
What are the stats?

It looks great.
One nit-pick though - artillery seems to partially lack full black outlines - which, I believe - is part of SB standards that can't be avoided.

Certainly attractive. I'd try for a taller mainmast for better radio range. At least some trivial AA armament was typical by this time period; I'd try for, say, a quartet of 3" high angle guns. Perhaps replace the beam heavy guns (which seem out of place postwar) with a few more of your secondary guns and aforementioned AA armament.

Very nice light cruiser but eswube is right, I know the effect you're going for but it makes it look like you messed up with the cut tool without even realizing it.

As I thought, similar to Hawkins...

A beautiful design. The power of a Hawkins but not so long and unproportioned as that ship. Great work.

A followup with twin main armament would be nice...what sort of armor protection would she have?
