Excellent job. I would, however, still move your forward sponson much farther back, angle the flight deck sponson's leading edge so that it'll not be water breaker, but rather smoothly ship the water away, as, when this ship is sailing at full speed, there will be huge amounts of water spray etc. That forward sponson, I'd fair into the flight deck sponson as well. Not least aesthetically it'll look awesome too.

Unfortunately, I don't have a "primary gun director", thats what I was using the SPG-55's for. I'm open to suggestions.

EDIT: What about the Mk 56 GFCS? Would that work?

Mk.56 GFCS is for the 3'/50 Mk.22. I'd recommend AN/SPG-53 or MRS-3 for the guns.

stupid question, I'm sure... but do we have any images of either of those?

one other point, with this being an AU, the Mk 56 could be declared to "have been designed for X system" instead of specifically ther 3"/50

Excellent work, and I generally like all ships posted here. As for the carrier, may I suggest raising the bridge structure, one or two decks, as it seems too low.
The Mk.53 GFCS is in the US parts sheet or can be found on many USN ships. The MRS-3 is also on the parts sheet of the RN, and again many RN ships.

The top units are found in quartets and are paired together, and the bottom unit is a very early Satcom.

Red Queen honestly seems a bit small to be sporting 15" rifles. I've drawn larger ships with only 12-inchers.
