A good start. But you might want to compare with this photo:

As far as I can find out the four ships had this apperance in service. Though i have the same drawing you've been working from and it does show a diferent bridge arrangement :)

Can't comment on the accuracy of the drawing, but title should be as follows:

USA, Claud Jones Class
USS John R. Perry DE-1034 (1969)
(Hawkeye)

This is the standard format for ALL USN ships.

It's a decent start, but it needs quite a bit of work.

Yes, I think you need to spend quite a bit more time researching these ships and just sort "figuring out" how best to draw different areas before you just say "DONE!" and post it.

Drawing real ships is quite time consuming and requires a LOT of effort to get right.

@ PB:

Thanks for the pic and for your help.
Here's one of the pic of the ship from navsource.
It shows the bridge like I have draw first (reference line drawing shows the same).
Greetings
-Michael-

@ Colosseum:

I think I have spent a bit more time in researching like you're thinking about it!!
Have a nice day!!
-Michael-

The drawing doesn't show it. I'm not insulting you, I'm just saying... these could use a bit of work. They are very rough around the edges and not very detailed.

How much time do you spend on them? As a new artist, I drew a ship every day --- and the result was accordingly bad. Hence why we redraw so many of my old ships every year!

It's not a race! (even though ALVAMA and Darth Panda might make it seem like it is... just remember that they don't have a life!)

How much time I spent for one of my drawings?? Good question 'Cause I don't know!!
But more then just one day!! CVA-58 for an examble. I have the 11th version on my HDD (update coming soon) and
I have start the work on January 1st this year since I'm a member here (Before this I have drawed some fire fighting vessels
from our fire department). For the first version of the U.S.S. Savannah (without the underwater hull) I have needed two days.

Everyone just take a deep breath, stay calm, and please don't get mad at each other. Remember, we all have the same goal despite the language barrier, and that goal is to have ships well drawn.
