It's also fun to mount the 9.2" guns....

Actually, the Emerald can be made pretty beefy too, and if you mount the 9.2" guns with a lot of armor, you get something that resembles a small battleship in playing style. It's ships like the York and County classes where Brit cruisers get their bad rep. (though, of the York turned better, she'd actually be pretty nice with the 12" guns she can mount...)
