The BRP Tarlac is a landing platform dock of the Philippine Navy, and the lead ship in its class. It was commissioned on June 1, 2016. The ship is designed for, but not with a 76 mm gun, two 25 mm or 30 mm remote weapons stations, an air search radar and possibly a CIWS (at least, according to this slide).

it's often done like that, designed for, but not with. it's an easy way to save money when already using tons of money building the ship. for then later under normal budget acquire the needed equipment over time.

I think some shading of the hull cutouts would improve this drawing substantially.

If a few suggestions are appreciated the drawing can gain from a few more improvements.

Pictures suggest a slightly different arrangement (also shape and dimension) of the hull cutouts and ventilation intakes. other than the existence of a further door/hatch a deck below the main boat one.
Also, only the upper level of the superstructure appears to have portholes. The funnel outtakes appear to be visible as well.

Keep up the nice work!

Great-looking ship all in all, and interestingly original subject.
Good job putting it together based on such scarce sources. Although maybe you have access to drawings of some sort? Otherwise you expose yourself to revising it completely when the accurate dimensions and shape are known.

This being said, back to nitpicking the details :)
- The pictures above don't show the cover on the bow deck. Maybe you have some other information about it being added later?
- The ventilation grids appear to be closer to the RHIB port and farther apart
- Also check the position of the tie-down openings on the stern deck.
- There appears to be another vertical door astern of the gangway.
- Some openings to the mechanism below the RO-RO door are visible.
- The starboard side of the helo observation deck atop the hangar appears flat, and does not require the split line in the middle. Also the shape of the side window seems different
- Isn't there an overhang all around the bridge?
- There seems to be a small square overhang in front of the bow deck platform.

Sorry if I'm laying it on too thick, it is only meant as constructive criticism. Feel free to ignore what you regard as unnecessary detail.
