Arranging the rebuilt Town's guns and funnels

Two forward twin 4.7-inch mounts, three aft mounts, and four-inch guns between the funnels form the proposed cruiser battery.

Notes

The proposed layout combines the original funnel uptakes into two stacks at the second and fourth funnel positions and raises the bridge superstructure. Two twin 4.7-inch mounts go forward, with the remaining three arranged aft, possibly in a triangular Q, X, and Y pattern. The two twin four-inch mounts occupy the waist between the funnels. Pom-poms and quadruple machine-gun mounts are distributed around the superstructure. The position of the quadruple torpedo launchers remains open, while the conversion aims to preserve most arrangements below decks.
