    Based on what Renodemona has posted I'd say he's going with a 1/2 unit pump and 1 1/2 units of guns.

    Plans were Russian, from another member out this way. I installed 2 50 round guns but will run a 1/2 unit pump and 1-1/2 units of guns. Boat is quite tippy and needs some trim and balance work to be more effective, but it is a fun little boat. Once dialed in I plan to use it as a travelling ship and campaign ship.

    does cadorna get a stringer in ircwcc?
    I have the Russian plans also, it shows the bulge in the ribs.
    However conways "warships of the world" states that the tumblehome was eliminated in the cadorna.
    its hard to tell from pics on the net.

    I didn't put it in, I couldn't see it in any of the pictures.

    I've pulled the twin guns and am going with a single 75 round. I couldn't get the balance and trim dialed in, she's just too narrow and rounded for so much weight up high. Easier to ballast low with only one gun.
