Stylistically, it's a good start. However, I couldn't see a band of mercenaries acquiring and operating a large ship like that.

I would go with an AMC (large fast tanker WW1/2 style raider IMO)
Design wise you look like an Alaska type (1940s) but they are not very good value v full BBs or smaller CA/CLs.
(I would also worry about the rate of fire of 6.5' DP guns)

but anyway drawing wise,
The shading at stern MG turrets looks wrong Ie it should be Dark(away)/med(side)/light(towards sun) the away bit is lighter on yours ?
Generally could do with a few details to make it less blank and more busy as well.
