steam powered? because if so, where do the turbines go? (under the aft gun won't fit, so it would be under the hangar or in the quite short space between the 150mm gun and the VLS)

btw, your shading suggests tumblehome or an torpedo bulge, both of which seem to be not that common at the time?

if you have VLS, why would you use armoured box launchers? the spruance class was rebuild with VLS primarely to be able to launch more tomahawks from the same ship, so you could certainly gain a lot by doing so.

For me those 56mm look s bit modern...
