Sources frequently do not indicate whether they refer to navigational draft (i.e., over the sonar dome) or the keel draft. It's better to work off of plans you trust. In addition to others' comments, I think the electronics fit is pretty sub-optimal. Concentrating all of those systems on a single ma...
APRAPS is not an acronym I'd seen associated with that effort, so that'll be a useful google term in the future! It's a nicely-drawn effort, although in common with a lot of paper sketches from that era, it seems stupendously overloaded with combat systems and electronics. Nearly as bad as some begi...
Off the top of my head I can't think of any ships built with SPG-60 alone, but designers frequently positioned SPG-60 and SPQ-9 so that one covered a bow arc and the other a stern arc. Some never-built sketches show only one or the other. Certainly it would have been possible to only include SPG-60.
Certainly well-drawn and attractive, and generally sensible I think. Three ASW thoughts. First, the little "doors" below the pilothouse are blow-out plates for an ASROC magazine. Since you have no ASROC forward, these are inappropriate ;). From a sensor point of view, I'd expect a (more modern versi...
Frankly, it could be a drawing of a real ship. I appreciate the attention to detail in the drop-down netting around the (presumably) 40mm, including mundane components like navigation lights and ESM omnis, shading on the 76mm, and the very nice SVTT (I assume this is a new parts sheet part I hadn't ...

The whole point of Shipbucket is that we adopt a similar style across drawings.
