Hawker Siddeley HS.1179 Sparrowhawk GR.Mk.1 Is it a combination of one of the Hawk preliminary designs with the HS.1182-AJS design for AST.396? A very realistic aircraft. Only comment is that the engine should be named by a river in United Kingdom. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Lune

Interestingly in 1933 the Royal Navy briefly thought about building heavily-armed sloops as a way of defending specifically to defend convoys against contre-torpilleurs. They could build unlimited numbers of sloops under treaty limits, whilst Britain was limited to 150,000 tons of destroyers, hence ...

I'm unable to find any sketch of any 5"/54 Mark 41 twin mount (as intended for the Mitschers) in my copy. The only sketch I can find of the 5"/54 is on pg130 (of the Mark 39 single mount).

Norman Friedman's Naval Anti-Aircraft Guns and Gunnery has sketch of the twin Mk41 5"/54 mounting, but as intended for the early designs for the Mitschers, and as such has more in common with the later automatic Mk42 single mount rather than the twin 5"/38 mountings.

There is a small mistake. The window to the upper left of the roundel is the intake, and small circular window to its immediate right is the exhaust for a pair of gas turbines that feeds the active boundary layer control system and the air-cushion landing system.

I did compare your design to the images of the model of the North American WS-300A design on the Secret Projects Forum. It looked very similar, aside from the TSR-2 style cockpit.
