Saving money on a County cruiser without sacrificing speed

How could the Royal Navy save roughly £300,000 on a County-class cruiser while retaining capability?

Keep the County hull's speed and range, remove one turret, and concentrate the remaining three twin turrets and magazines forward.

The York and Exeter economies lost more capability than their savings justified. The proposed alternative keeps the County hull's speed and range while arranging three twin turrets forward in a Nelson-like concentration. Moving the after magazine forward reduces protected volume and avoids supporting an isolated rear turret. The arrangement is not ideal in every circumstance, but it offers an efficient response when a government insists on a cheaper treaty cruiser.
