Minor revisions and updates. Also, top views are not pleasant.

I must admit this ship is growing on me more and more...

The top-view is excellent.

Great ship i realy like it , only weird thing i think are these goalkeepers on a US ship,but great to see a top class ciws in US service. only one question : why you make this ship a cruiser? i would class it more as a battlecruiser or even battle ship.

That gets into the nature of what is a battleship and what is a battlecruiser. I tend to use the battleship definition of "A large ship with a main gun armament, and the armor to resist her own guns inside the majority of her own guns' range." Battlecruisers tend to be ships similar to battleships, but slightly smaller and with armor exchanged for speed. Just a reminder - the last battlecruiser the USN ordered was the Lexington class.

Why would a ship with less range and striking power than a carrier lead to World War 3?

Correction: the only battlecruiser the USN ordered was the Lexington class. We never actually got around to commissioning any proper battlecruisers ever.

Why is everyone using this really bad quality USN naval jack? IIRC, there's a perfectly acceptable one with stars properly aligned etc on the Alaska.

Nope, Alaska, Guam, and the unfinished Hawaii were large cruisers, hence the CB designation, not a BC designation.
