Uhm..... This girl here is the one with destroyer's body but has heavy cruiser's gun isn't she? Man, don't know what they were thinking fitting them with such big guns. This is must be why devs just added the fit gun mechanic.

Destroyer's displacement, the hull form was significantly shorter and somewhat beamer in order to get enough stability to fit those guns without seeing the ships capsizing at the first breeze. Anyway the Thai themselves divorced from this kind of ships before the outbreak of WWII, they ordered two small light cruisers to the Italian yard of CRDA in 1938, neither delivered nor completed because of the war first and Italian capitulation later.

HTMS Sri Ayudhya. Technically, she's just a Coastal Defense Ship (DD-tier hull, CA-tier guns, no blue water capabilities) built by Kawasaki Shipbuilding Corporations back in 1936.
And when I said DD-tier hull, she only has about 2,265 tons of displacement, putting her in the same class as the Yuugumo-class destroyers. However, she mounts the same 20cm/50 guns as those on Japanese heavy cruisers.
Her combat history is a bit... tragic, to say the least. Let's just say, she was used in a coup... but the coup failed miserably (See: Manhattan Rebellion) with her being sunk in the middle of a river. She didn't even get to sink out at sea, unlike her sistership HTMS Thonburi (who got ganked by the numerically superior Vichy French Navy).
