few comments left:
- the mast seems to be shaded a tad dark. also, it seems to need some work, especially the topmast, which should be mostly done with pictures
- please use the new SH-60 from the kongo
- the deck edge near the flight deck looks off..... I do not believe that edge is there, as the flight deck does not extend entirely to the sides of the hull. I think those double lines are originated from folded flight deck railings
- note that the round AEGIS IFF 'masthead' should, IIRC, be the same as the one on my kongo.
-the shades for angled surfaces are the same in the whole ship, if you are talking about overhang shades there where indeed a couple of them a bit too dark, and i have fixed them now, also checked some details at the topmast too.
-done.
-if i do not misunderstand you are talking about the dotted double line below the SH-60, that's one of the few parts left from MConrads drawing, and i retained them after looking at
this picture
-i have tried, but when i pasted the SPY-1 from the Kongos the original colour disappears and is replaced by that dark shade gray you can see now, i have tried multiple times but with no avail.

you should check this ref for accuracy with pics, but other then that, I think it should all rougly line out, and it is an good source for detail positioning.
Thanks.
updated the drawing.
