Updated. I changed the boats to the ones off the Leander class because I didn't know if the one I had was accurate. Reduced draft because it looked a little too deep. Added minor details here and there, experimented with cloth railing on the light

Actually he said those were triple mounts, and I was hoping he'd stretch them out a lot more. So, yeah, you need to stretch a lot more.

Here are some of my thoughts concerning your design. I assume you are using British equipment for your ship.

I'm thinking of scrapping most of this and starting again.

Never be afraid to start over.

Updated the first post, new attempt. This is not so much about the superstructure (or currently, the lack thereof) so much as gun placement/amounts and armor belt. I ran it through SpringSharp and it came up as undergunned, so I might add a couple of 4inch mounts. Of course that could also be because I entered it wrong.

I'll be spamming more 20mm cannons and maybe a few more twin 40mm.

I like the bow portion forward of the funnel. The only big thing I can see is the armor belt since I've just had mine corrected. You will want to have it protecting all the way up to the turrets forward and aft.
