just delete it, it make more problem than it help you. and it also get use wondering how serious you are in you'r work.

you don't need it as an size comparison, when you have decided what size you want you'r vessel to be, then you stick to it. That's it.

SO here is the important question from all of you guys- is the ship a good ship?

It's not the worst I've seen but it could still be a lot better.

You could reduce the height of your aft superstructure, you have quoite a bit of clearance if you intend to use 60s as your designed for embarked helicopter.

I feel your APAR should be more elevated over the SMART as you probably have a 1-2nm cutout aft for surface search and navigation purposes. You might be okay with this, similar cutouts do exist on real ships so maybe its just the ship driver in me talking.

Close up that stern, you are just begging for flooding.

UNREP station?

ACCOM ladder?

I note you put the CSW on the stern but nowhere else. If you are going to show them then put all of them out, and if that is the only one you intend to have rethink that.

The 25mm amidships is a CSW (most of the time) too...

I've mentioned the open stern before and he ignored me.

In fact, most of what you've mentioned has been mentioned to him before.

Yeah but they are permanently fixed as far as the crew is concerned. I was thinking more about .50 cals/Mk 19s/M240s (in the case of the US) the crew sets up only when entering port or transiting straights but then take down during normal open ocean operations.

More than one shaft might be nice, too...
