just for the "f" of it, decided to have an closer look:

- Stern, I don't think it should be flat, it should be rater of two different angle, the lower section is right up and down, while the top section is slightly inward.

- The hull depth: you have drawn the ship with hull depth of approx 4 meters. Formidable class hull depth is 6 meters (39px).

- rest is just small details, like for example how porthole looks like they could perhaps look better with dark grey corners.


Oh the shape of you'r ruder is quit wrong...

Thank you for you comment, but is that drawing from blueprints correct? ship of that class usually don't have tunnel thruster due to the speed and there are no marking on the actual ship.

yeah the drawing isn't accurate, but I took it just to help out with some off the points.

I'm not sure what the specific seaworthiness trade-offs are, but I have always found this sort of spoon-shaped low-RCS forepeak to be very attractive. It feels like a much more elegant and practical solution than the Zumwalt-style wave-piercer.

As a drawing, the only suggestion I can really make is to draw the Herakles at like 45deg azimuth to subtly indicate it is a rotating part. Otherwise, I'm not sure what else can be done within the formal style guide. I think lower-contrast RHIB enclosure and pilothouse windows would look "better", but at some point it's not a Shipbucket drawing anymore...

Oh, also: don't these ships have a helo hangar? If so the helo (whatever size is carried) should be shown landed.
