To partially answer your question, I'll just repost portions of this post from the previous page.
My knowledge of appropriate radar types, uses, and locations is, at this point, quite limited, and I rely heavily on y'all to keep me pointed in the right direction in that regard. For the most part, right now, I just look at about the right timeframe and "roll the dice" (not literally) because I figure the "pull it out of my backside" method has got to work at least part of the time. Who knows, one of these days I may guess right, and in the meantime, when I pull the wrong one out, I know y'all will let me know. I've already learned some things here about different radars, and hopefully, the learning curve won't flatline on me.

Exactly what time period is this battleship from? Late 30´s or early 40´s?

approximately the same as the North Carolina Class, except 5 of them instead of just 2, so it extends out for a couple more years in commissionings. First was laid down in '37, commissioned in '40, with another following each year after.

In that case, I would remove the SK-2 radar. It was´t deployed until 1945. The SK-2 is the large parabolic radar in front of the rectangular radar. I would also have rounded the hull where the stern meets the keel. Make a more gradual slope. Look at other drawings for what I mean.

I agree with removing it, as the other was earlier. However, I just want to note that Grays Harbor is not a US or UK clone. Timeframes can be somewhat fluid. I use a +/- 5 year rule of thumb for devolpments. I use basically UK/US designs and equipment for inspiration and because it is simpler than trying to design radars, guns and missiles on my own. *shrug*
I did look at other drawings. They aren't all curved, some are straight. Mine is somewhere between the two.

any others then the vanguard?
because... well....
the vanguard has about the ugliest stern in british naval history.

The rounder stern is prettier than than the straight stern. I have always been a fan of the German stern. There´s something pretty about it. My Balder class was originally designed with a straight, transomish stern, less sheer on the forecastle and smaller flare on the bow. But then it turned into this:



If you look at my Montana you have a typical modern American stern:

ok, not gonna get any argument from me there.

I like the look of your Balder class.

Thanks. It´s actually a blend of American, British and German ships.

redone stern. not sure about the rudder though. I think I may like the previous stern better.
