The St. Louis class cruiser were a group of three protected cruisers used by the United States Navy at the beginning of the 20th century.
Authorized in 1900, the St. Louis-class cruiser initially began as an improved Columbia-class cruiser. However, during the design phase, decisions were made to increase the size of the vessel from 6,000 tons to 9,700 tons. Other decisions were made to try to increase speed, such as using smaller 6-inch (152 mm) guns instead of 8-inch (203 mm) guns. Also, armor was increased which led to the need for a larger powerplant for the ship. The completed ship at 9,700 tons was the same displacement as a full armored cruiser without the same armor or armament.
The file contains all the sounds and pcx files. Model is not my own creation. Wyrmshadow provided the animation files and Ares de Borg did the sounds. I merely put the pieces together and cleaned up the model for CivIII and added some what if pieces. A big thanks to everyone that helped out!
