thanks guys, i'll see what i can do to improve things a bit.
Bezo, you've probably got the right point about her strange look, i had concieved her as a USN battleships, but i still ended up with a massive tower because my inconditionate love for IJN battleships lines, beign fifteen when i first drawn her on paper surely did not help, also she is not nuclear powered as i actually made her beign built during the late 40's and early 50's.
this is the original drawing, one of the only two warships i've drawn back then to have survived to this day:

i had to obviously modify it a bit, as the main guns where too small for the 22-inch caliber i've planned to arm her with, so the superstructure was shrunked, i also removed the useless rangefinder placed between the stack and mainmast.
i also had two variants in the works back then, i halted working on them when i started to draw real life ships, the first without the 8-inch guns, and the second one with only 6x22-inch as main gun armament; both obviously are yet to be updated.
