I think the progression in this instance should be by order of gun and armor. The notion that the heavy cruisers would disrupt the chronological succession of this game format is less egregious than offering a series of versions of the same ship for the sake of time-stamps. Where are the heavy cruisers? The 10,000 ton/8inch-gun configurations? It would be nice to see at least a single Kent, or a Norfolk, a London, or even a York class. Of this series the Leander, Arethusa, Southampton, Edinburgh, Dido, Dido II, Fiji, Uganda and Minotaur/Tiger were nearly indistinguishable from each other, and were deployed with that in mind. These series of light cruisers were all similar and based of the same basic blueprint.
Once you get to Emerald, the series after that is simply a series of derivatives with small armor upgrades and the same line of 6" guns dancing around 12 to 9 gun configurations. The British cruiser lineup has to be the most poorly considered selection in the entire game.
