The Canadians did it with the Iroquois so... It's most definitely possible.

You can have the VLS on the front deck, just aft of the gun, lowered in to the deck. you don't need a superstructure for the VLS.

Alright, I just don't wanna be doing something stupid.

Big improvement.

I'll add VLS cells later.

Yes, big improvement. A couple of things though: Your rudder is too big, and hardly hydrodynamically efficient. Your shaft line is way too steep (angled), too short, really, and we don't "fill" in void space with black, rather use a darker tone. Furthermore, the tubular structure is too thick, the shaft brackets' faces and backs are angled the wrong way too (planar square, instead of angling the same degree as the shafts!) You may want to have a boot topping too, though it doesn't need to be black (i e, black outlines, but something resembling charcoal grey inside); I've used medium grey on some of my British vessels for instance.
Besides all this, you may want to investigate such things as openings (with shutters!) for RHIBs, or ships' boats and torpedoes, if your vessel is equipped with such. You can choose to have, say four fixed, transverse tubes instead; two aside, or just two; one aside. Openings for mooring gear, scuppers etc are also essential to effectively operate any vessel. Study already submitted drawings in the archive or the various thread sections, and you'll see what I'm talking about. A mast is - even today - an essential thing for a fully functioning warship. You need to have aerials and be able to hoist signal flags, besides your national ensign! Other than that, I leave it to others to complement for you, what I may have missed.
An overall good effort and development by taking cues served by experienced members and your own thought process!

Working on it. Having troubles with finer details, care to lend some help?

It's getting better. I'm not sold on the bow bulb though.

Also, flip that credit! You name who you've taken from then your name. (It's an easy mistake to make)

Alright, will do.

This design is starting to get there now mate. Had my doubts at first but it is evolving well. Long way to go yet though but very positive start :)

I imagine it's probably been said, but from my assessment, your progress is nothing short of absolutely rapid. I'm quite impressed.
