The picture was taken when the ship sailed across the Strait of Magellan, escorted by two Chilean Missile Fast boat, Saar IV Class. The names of the ships are LM "Casma" and LM "Chipana".

Here I am after a long time away, the ship was ready something like 2 weeks ago, but serious problems with internet connection cause this delay...

Ladies and gentleman I'm proud to present You the LHD-8 USS Makin Island

Very nice, but you still have a lot of shading to do.

nice work!
few points though:
I can't find that replenishment mast on any picture, and I am not sure if this class ever got one...... (EDIT: my mistake, the mast is correct, although it looks slightly different from the one you put on board...)
the uptake ends look kinda small
some aircraft on the deck would be nice
and indeed, as thiel said.... it is kinda plain, I think there should be some more shading on it.

The replenishment mast is here, the shading is something that i don't know (at the moment how to do) and the planes are coming...

shading wise there is nothing wrong there. Bit of shaddowing it could do (there seems to be none)...But those things are two completely different parts of the drawing progress.
