Harima Shipyard 3600ton Modified Design for China
This is an alternative somewhat modified version of the 3.600ton design offered to China by the Harima Shipyard, the differences are visual mostly but affects the stability of the design improving it.The deck structure got shortened, the gun turrets placed somewhat closer to the centre of the ship, the bridge moved aft and the aft superstructure's size got reduced. Not sure why these changes were made or who asked it but the final design became a bit more compact while all other stats remaiend the same. The tonage saved by these modifications might had been used to strengthen the protection system.
