Hm. IMHO, the rear turrets are too far to rear. The ship would have a roll on the stern.

The catapult is pretty weird placed . Especially when you have a wide space between the superstructure.

And light AA guns on bow and stermn would be destroyed during any chase or retirade fire.

More correct would be Empire of Korea and Empire of Japan. ;)

Four twins per side if I'm not mistaken. 4x2x2=16

Most battleships of that era had some form of AA on the bow and stern, my one point is not having them that close to one another, they seem to be a crowded

Hi hoome,

Looks like a nice ship, but in addition to the other comments I have a couple, if that's OK?

Firstly, can you confirm how many shafts this ship has? It looks like a three-shaft layout, however, the only navy that really went for that was the Kriegsmarine and they suffered for it - both the Lutzow and the Prinz Eugen suffered severe damage aft that certainly wasn't helped by the design compromises forced by a three-shaft layout.

The spotting top looks quite large - anything up that high will have a disproportionate effect on the ship's stability.

Lastly, the rear rangefinder - the one just in front of the 'X' turret - I'm not sure, but I think it can't actually see backwards - if you lift it up a little (or make the turret design a little less tall) it'll be able to see past the turret.

Regards,
Adam
