Well I like it :P But thats purely looks-wise (also, hey guys, I'm back)
The aft turret, can it really sit on the hangar like that?
Also, what's the B turret? Is it useful there?
And the fore thruster, the one above the waterline. I think it's pointless...

First welcome back barnest
Second big improvement Alejandro, remember to credit any artists u may or may not have taken from ( this may be all your own work excluding parts). I think you under water hull is kinda shallow compared to the rest of the ship but just may be me.

  • Short answer, yes. You've gotta work the hangar out around the protruding magazine however which can be done various ways.
  • I think it is some sort of medium calibre CIWS like a twin 35 or twin 40 (though to be fair he does have three to four types of CIWS on there)...
  • I think that's meant to be a stencil (which he appears to have just straight copy/pasted on there ._. The thruster is also much, much too big to go where it currently is.
    @ The design in general
  • Those lifeboats should really be replaced with modern containerized ones
  • I'm pretty sure that OTOMAT cannot be vertical launched nor made to do so
  • You've cut off part of the fin on both Harpoons
  • Do I see a stern ramp for a dock a la an LHD on there?
You're getting there but there's still some way to go yet ;)

The 2 missiles in the middle have a guidance wing half cut off... Other than that it looks great!

Besides the already mentioned issues, I like to add: Your radar outfit is not consistent, with a British air/surface radar on top of what looks like an Aegis radar tower. Would not happen in real life! Your bridge looks very strange with bridge wings that ends up in the air - nowhere! The angles you've provided, simply doesn't match up with the general layout, and it'd be near-impossible to build it the way you've drawn it. Also, you're showing only one (1) shaft (propeller); I will assume that a ship of this size will need two. Finally, your anchor hawser hole is way, way too much forward and in an impossible position.
