A load of the bits are from Soode, not me.

It looks pretty good to me (though I'm no expert). The only thing I might worry about is the forward SPG-62 illuminator being too close to the forward superstructure to have full train/elevation range. Other than that, looks good.

Welcome to the forum, nice start!

Βut:
-Αs long as your ship has only ΕSSM, there is no need for SΡG-62. Τhis was designed for Standard SΑΜ and SΡΥ-1 ΑEGΙS. SΤΙR 180 is that you need, or SΡG-60.
-Α corvette of this size needs at least 28000-30000 hp for 29-30 kn. Except each of your engines is 15650hp.

Not bad, but I'm not sure you have enough volume forward for the gun and its magazine to fit.
The MG drawing you're using is older than time a has been replaced by a properly scaled one.

I think this needs more freeboard forward, otherwise the 76mm and the VLS are going to be very wet in any kind of sea.

Hi Hood, Hi Fisherman:
I agree. I think that it is a somewhat wet bow, and you will need more freeboard there.
One question, Hood. For that kind of hull, what will be the best way get a higher bow? A flush decker design or a raised forecastle? Thanks and cheers.

reytuerto,
I wouldn't make major changes. I've examined the hull depth, its exactly 3x 8.5ft decks (17 pixels), as suggested by our rule of thumb for deck heights, from the forecastle deck to the keel. It really needs a few extra pixels to account for the double bottom etc. No ship is ever exactly three decks deep due to the different internal arrangements such as engine spaces etc.
If this were my ship I would do three things; increase the freeboard by 6-8 pixels, lengthen the bows 16-20 pixels (or keep length the same and make the superstructure 16-20 pixels shorter and move the VLS and gun back by the same amount). and add a solid bulwark from the stem back as far as the 76mm mount. I'd probably tweak the hull flare too (here each 'step' upwards is of equal length, its better to have the lower sections longer and as you rise towards the stem, you should make each 'step' shorter to give a more graceful curve.
