Very impressive!

I'm no naval architect but why design these ships with such high funnels? Surely the diesels could be vented lower down much easier?

to keep the exhaust clear of the superstructure, first and foremost. if you would vent them lower you would need to isolate a lot more of it against the heat then when you run it all over. second, to keep it clear of the cargo, overheated containers don't work so good :P so you always need them higher (or separate) from these.

venting from the side or stern would be possible too, but the troubles that bring are about as expensive as just heightening the stack.

I am not entirely content with the hull shading (or is it just paint? if it is paint I have said nothing) , and those bow thrusters are an disgrace to the otherwise excellent drawing. weren't all the bow thrusters covered with hatches too? there might be some improvement possible on the azipods too http://malcolmoliver.files.wordpress.co ... 2pods4.jpg

otherwise, excellent work!
