Finally got around to posting it here on the forum, now that I'm reasonably happy with it. Any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Nice work and very welcome addition to the bucket.
I'm no USN expert but it looks good to me.

Nice work. I think it would take on a little extra depth with shading around the anchor, on and under the life rafts, and on the various satcom domes.

nice drawing of one of the LSD's of the leading Navy with the richest
tradition and experience of landing ships and landing operations.

Awesome work! May I inquire if you're planning on drawing the preceding class (Whidbey Island-class)? A friend of mine served on her.

Vossiej drew Whidbey Island some years ago, although I think this drawing is of more modern quality.

You'd be surprised how simply updating the hull color to the new standard, makes older drawings look almost newish.

I'm fine with someone upgrading or redrawing my Whidbey Island Class.
