Bridge structure is still wrong, as it is too low, and the gun mounting in front obscure vision from the bridge. Also, I've just noticed that there are no bridge wings here, and that further impairs your ship's ability to manouvere in restricted waters (such as harbours, or when off-loading the troops).
Ventilators are too low, and will intake much sea-water in stormy seas. Group some ventilators around the funnels and also have some intakes for the machinery spaces. I would also suggest spreading the funnels a bit, as a ship this big making even 30kts requires a lot of machinery space, which lowers your troops capacity, and supplies for them. Another suggestion would be to remove the aft gun turret for more cargo space, or even some sort of ramp to afford the launching of amphibious vehicles over the stern.

Consider a few more stacks- I am assuming this is a pretty fast greyhound vessel, but using 2nd tier steam plant, so you'll have a lot of boilers for whal look like 4 turbines at least. If your on 600psi kit that would mean at least as many stacks as what one sees on an early 1930s liner- in other words at least 3, more likely 4.
