Colbert C611 AAW cruiser

(wiki):
Her construction began in the Brest dockyards in 1953. She was designed as a powerful ship, the second of the De Grasse series, able to overcome all threats solely by her guns' weight of fire - she had 57mm and 127mm turrets for a firing rate of one shot per second. Launched on 24 March 1956 in Brest, France, starting her trials on 5 December 1957 and officially entering active service on 5 May 1959, she was made part of a 15-ship squadron, with the main aims of protecting aircraft carriers from air attack, shore bombardment for ground operations, command hub for naval operations and evacuating French expatriates from overseas. In 1964 a naval reorganization made her the flagship of France's Mediterranean squadron (escadre de Méditerranée) at Toulon, which was mainly made up of complementary units such as aircraft-carriers and frigates.

Really nice, but pay notice to the gunbarrels (your 57mm have the heretic greyline atop the black one) and some of the platforms around the masts would look better with three black pixels.

Otherwise I can forsee this becoming really epic drawing :)

Your drawing looks great so far, the design on the other hand leaves something to be desired, personally I would add more guns...
