while of much smaller size, the irene I have drawn might come helpfull (it is in the netherlands folder) she is of about the same age and shape, but a lot smaller, of course
apart from that, I would suggest this: draw the top 'bar', the bottom, and then start filling in in between. filling in I would begin with the 'vertical' bars, which are regularly spaced and from the side more or less straight, and then let the horizontals onto them with the same partion of the vertical bars between them. (this would make them closer to each other at the tip and further from each other near the hull itself) these parts are curved in multiple directions and there are so many ways to build, let alone draw them, that as long as you have the shape of the outlines correct, the inner works are most likely good any way you draw them
let them go a few pixels 'into' the hull as well, as they are somewhat curved around the front of the hull.
if you can't get it look right, draw first the sheer and deck lines (and maybe gun ports) of the hull before restarting on it. these give the details on the bow an completely different look.
