Who needs a stern anyway? 
“Close” only counts with horseshoes, hand grenades, and tactical nuclear weapons.

Incredible!
Re: Germany - Admiral Hipper class Heavy Cruiser
Thanks to everyone for the kind words!
In 1943, it was back to action, but any attempts to transfer the cruiser to Norway failed due to early enemy recon. After the repairs, the 20mm quads were replaced with the shielded model, plus two additional replacing the searchlight on the funnel platforms. The torpedo tubes now had enclosed housings for better protection. The FuMO 27 radar on the tower mast was replaced with a FuMO 26 with 'owl ear'-extensions, a FuMB 7 'Timor' passive radar was added below plus a set of four FuMB 4 'Sumatra' around the mast platform.
Plus I played around with a little bit of underwater hull shading, let me now what you think...

Great work DG_Alpha!
The underwater hull shading looks good, but I think would be even better if you did away with the old-fashioned (but weird) light brown-on-red shading.
