Well, seeing that people have posted ships Inutoland has made in this thread before, I decided to post ships he made for my nation too to see if they have any large mistakes. I admit that I'm totally incapable of doing lineart (I'm good at making flags and coats of arms though, check out my NSwiki), so I honestly have no idea if they're well designed or not.. So, give me some opinions please!

2x Kamewa waterjets
4x 4,000 kW gas turbine engines
2x 1,400 kW diesel engines
Max Speed: 37 knots
Air power: Landing pad for 1x UH-1Y Venom helicopter
Sensor systems:
-Fire control radar

I think my main concerns would be the Mk.26's on top of the conning tower, and the location of some of the CIWS and BPDMS systems. While the Phalanx is a "plug-n-play" in effect, with no deck penetration, Mk.26 launchers, just like VLS launchers, require considerable below decks space.

Tell Inutoland that he cannot put "Copyright Inutoland".

an example would be this (just a quick axe job to move a couple things and remove a couple things) Something that always needs to be taken into consideration is how much deck penetration any given gun turret or missile system has, where the engines are, crew accomodations, etc. There is alot going on in ships that can't be seem from the outside.

Hippo, these are your ships correct?

When I get to a real computer (rather than my tablet), would you like me to split this off so you can get the help in your own thread?

These are my ships.. As in, they are operated by my NS nation, but I have not created them myself. As I mentioned earlier, I have barely any experience in lineart (though I'm planning to start practicing ship drawing once my exams end in May), Inutoland kindly created those ships for me.

So I don't think I need my own thread. At least, not for now.

Question, Why does your aircraft carrier need 5inch Guns? Planning on having her sail in and do shore bombardment? If that is in fact the case, what do you think aircraft are for? It is an AIRCRAFT carrier, it has AIRCRAFT on it. AIRCRAFT can do all the things the 5inch gun can do a million times better. Also, judging by your drawing, you have them mounted on appendages jutting out from the sides of the ship, you can't do this because there is no room for the magazines.

Thats already been covered for this one, and the rest will be having some alterations as well. And they are called sponsons, not appendages.

Alright, I appreciate your advice; I've removed the naval guns from the Merina and Amanda, and removed some missiles from the Amanda too. Is there anything wrong with the Providence class or the Waverley class though?
They were meant to help with its air defense and/or provide some anti-surface weaponry in an emergency. But yeah, they're gone now.

Oh yes there is. Tell you what, I'm going to split this off - because you are asking for help, and it will make my life easier.

I'll offer some pointers when I'm not half asleep.
