This has always been one of my favorite AU's

In the interests of keeping things ticking over.

The current royal yacht.

The King is back. All hail the King!

It doesn't look enough like a Bond villain secret floating lair!
Looks a very workmanlike vessel, certainly seaworthy. Kind of reminds me of the Castle and Island class patrol boats. An interesting design.

I certainly wouldn't mind having one of my own to putter around in, but I'd expect such a prestigious vessel to have (relatively) soaring deck heights in the spaces where one might receive guests or conduct state business.

As drawn, she seems comfortable but workmanlike, perhaps a conversion of a hull laid down for some other purpose. Could you even keep ducting and wire runs hidden in the overhead on the main deck? What about the inevitable industrial-looking (a snooty person might say "ugly") structural bracing under the helo deck? Would this not be clad in a smooth, clean fiberglass shell or something?

The drawing quality is very nice, but I feel like the concept could use a little further exploration.

It is indeed a conversion, specifically this (Link) with some minor differences in systems here and there. I didn't particularly want to go down the same route as say Britannia et al as I think that a conversion of something would be more in keeping with today's penchant for eco-friendliness and recycling and by extension would go down better with the public than a new commission.
