Don't draw guntubes the way you have done in the mainguns. All guntubes are not straight cylindershapes but narrowing towards the mouth. Thus you need to draw them sloped but on both sides, bellow and above, not just bellow as you have done now.
Addendum: you do see this on some drawings, and it is correct on those drawings. Example would be the US 8"/55RF Mk 16 (on Des Moines) which has a larger 'lump below the gun tube' which is the empty case ejection tube. But as far as I know, this sort of feature was never seen on any weapon larger than the 8"/55RF.

Very nice :) That apart, an odd black line vertival off one of the screws. Some of the hatches are in grey - not Shipbucket standard. Ladders in different scales. Railings: either missing toward the stern, or not Shipbucket standard forward.

re the grey doors: they look awfull in black, I tried that first..... but well, they are often in cramped spaces and by that grey makes them look better.
the ladders: some of them are wider on the refs.... that's why I put 3 and 4 pixel wide ones. because of that... I hope it is ok to keep it this way, because for me the ship is finished now :D
the black line: there was something over there on some of the refs, I think an magnetic neutraliser or something or whatever it is called in english..... but I have removed it, if it gives problems.

and the railings: that was just an missing detail, it is added now.
just before I shut down my pc tonight, I will put it on an template, waiting for permission to keep it this way......
so for the last time for this ship :P..... comments?

absolutely no idea :D some other thing that was on my reff.... but as I am not that knowledgeable about ships of that time era, I don't know what they are.

Yeah,there's 2 on the stern too, maybe something to do with degaussing.
