I was just thinking about why raising all the guns one deck higher, i know it could be to make space for the 25mm machine guns but it could be better to do the opposite, mainly because of topside weight.
Looks nice overall tough. :)
Same here, it just gives the design a topheavy look. And IJN ships had enough topweight problems to begin with. It does get the guns out of sea spray FWIW though...

They were also rather manic about it after the Tomozuru went tupsy-turvy.

That was the incident, plus a numder of DD's were badly damaged during the same storm. A _lot_ of ships got rebuilt (and went over treaty limits when they were).

I thought it would be top heavy, but that is typical of IJN. I will to a rehash to drop the 100mm's.

ps
OK, think i know why they are a deck high. Crew quarters. If i drop the forward and aft pair to the weather deck it cuts a lot of crew space. It also wipes the space for 25mm mounts.

Back then it was very rare to have crew accommodations in the superstructure.

Very nice work! With your permission, I'd like to put a class and some ship names in the credits. I was planning a similar vessel, (with 22 x 5-inchers, but 24's even better! :) ), and I've got ship names already picked out.

Edited the Kii-class drawing to give credit to the artist of the original concept.
