If you are interested and have time, then you can make a drawing of Hevy Cruiser "North Pole" as she looked like when she came to Bergen for inspection.

When exactly is this supposed to have taken place?
And broadcasting your navy's movement to the press is a stupid thing to do.
Plural. Everybody who isn't him.

I based the idea of the superstructure on Ticonderoga class. but due to the size of the ship 208 meters, I had a little more room to do it a little uglier, a warship usually have a beautiful hull, but the superstructure isnt always as beautiful as the hull.

if we look at the ship, as it must have been built in the late 70's, so ...
It's just a problem and that is that the guns on it make it to look like the ship has been built sometime in the 50-60 century.

Remember that some of the points are for the media other points are for the government's eyes.

I tried to act as the media has gotten to know some of the coarse around the action, nothing more. The government then clearly know more.

In that case it's vastly underarmed for its size.
At more than 200m it should be double ended.
