Argentinian 'What If?' Armoured Cruisers

Bernardino Rivadavia and Mariano Moreno

As I've been adding other 'What If?' warships to the Chilean and Argentinian pre-dreadnought fleets, I thought it would be fun to include the two Guiseppe Garibaldi class armoured cruisers that were sold to Japan. These became the Kasuga and Nisshin, both of which fought in the Russo-Japanese war. They were slightly different to the four Argentinian cruisers that were commissioned, as you can see from the funnels and masts, but otherwise they fit in very well alongside their sister ships, in this case the General Belgrano.
