HNLMS De Ruyter

No more odd looking than the superstructures of Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) cruisers, imo...

If anything, a bit more modern looking than the leftovers from World War I. About the size of a modern destroyer, with an unusual gun arrangement. 3 doubles and one single gun turrets for it’s main batteries (150mm, appx 6 inches).
