Hmmm...the only things I can see right now are the font-size, which is non-SB, and the fact that you've probably misunderstood her secondary armament. She carried sixteen (16) 6" guns, not a mere 10 as you have depicted. So, the foremost casemated gun need to be changed as well as the two casemated dittos above the focs'le deck guns. They all look like being, say 3"-guns right now.

Hi Bezo,

The smaller guns above the gun deck are 3 in. I missinterperated the two in the gun deck casemate and the forward gun in the hull as being 3 in also . . . my bad! The fix is in the works.

Better?
