G'day all, My first post. I've been a frequent visitor to this site and have decided to take the plunge.
For someone who is usually surrounded by a sea of wheat I've developed a great interest of Canada's Navy and more directly the future vessels which will replace the ones in the present inventory. Here's my first attempt. (You may fire when ready)

1. The hull is to undeep for vls.
2. The phalanx above the SRBOC is not going to work.
3. You dont need missile directors with APAR+Smart-L.

Great start for a ''beginner?''

Embarked on: HNLMS Karel Doorman A833
To do list:
-Zeven Provincien class cruiser
-Joint support ship all sides
-F124 Sachsen class frigate
-F125 Baden-Württemberg class frigate
-Clemencau class aircraft carrier
-Zeven provincien class frigate
-Poolster class AOR
-Amsterdam class AOR
-Minas Gerais aircraft carrier

Is this vessel supposed be the planned Province Class?

The Province class was supposed to be based on the "Halifax" Hull but stretched to accomodate the VLS cells. This is just my stab at something new. How much more hull would it need?

the apar and smart-l are the old ones, look at the dutch parts sheet for the latest ones :

also, I doubt this ship will be really stealthy... the bow looks stealth, the stern looks more like the previous generation of ships.
funnel looks weird....
look at the hull of real ships how it should be done......
otherwise: good start, but needs improvements

That's what its all about right

Okay, good first shot at the style but a few minor niggles about the ship. For a start the draught appears somewhat on the shallow side.
Secondly, 64 self-defense length VLS? I'm not sure if you could fit that many given the hull form shown in the bow on view (I think lack of space would preclude fitting the outer most 2x8 cell blocks on each side reducing the number of cells to 32 instead) and given ESSM is quadpacked you'll be carrying a utter heap of point-defense missiles per ship (but no area defense missiles)... Anyway, either cut down the number of VLS cells or redesign the hull in order to take longer VLS cells, thus allowing carrige of SM-2s (giving you an effective layered AAW system rather just an insane level of point defense and making full use of the radar fit you've got).

indeed a good start , specialy the topvieuw and the front/stern vieuw.

A few improvements.

• Reduce by half your forward VLS. Right now the 64 cells make a very very big hole in the deck, and you're mounting up to 256 ESSMs/RAMs/NULKAs
• Remove the missile guidance radars APAR can cover this roll.
• Raise the Bridge up one level
  • You need the internal volume
  • It brings the Phalanx mount down so it isn't sitting on a platform like you have. What you have now works, but I would think it's sub-optimal.
• Modern Sonars that have rubber covers get a dark-gray coloration, not brown.

Sure, a good beginning, and you've gone to a lot of trouble to show the various views. Most of the points for correction have already been made, so nothing to add there. Generally, around the bridge area there are too many odd angles and platforms (as in the Phallanx mount). You could also remove the black line beneath the bridge windows as (on the other views) this is not a deck edge. You don't need to label the various systems, but if you do you'll need to place the legend next to whatever your describing; and not as you've done, where you've sort of mixed them up.

That said, a most impressive first post; and on this basis you should find a welcome berth on board
