The strongest cruiser designs of the 1930s

Which nation produced the best-designed cruiser in the 1930s?

The suggestions are French eight-inch cruisers, Wichita, and the British Town class; the panel corrects an initial reference to the Crown Colonies.

French eight-inch cruiser designs receive the first recommendation. Wichita is then offered as another strong design of the 1930s. The British comparison initially names the Crown Colony class before another participant corrects it to the Towns. The reason given for including the British six-inch cruisers is their ability to fight eight-inch cruisers. The exchange provides a shortlist without developing a detailed comparison of armor or treaty displacement.
