The drawing has improved tremendously though.

Just the lower superstructure needs a bit work(seems a bit plain?)

There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

Thanks for your comments, As for the size of the ship, this would be alot more desirable to send something like this in littoral waters then a full carrier. Also i was not sure the size of the wing so yes maybe if I remove the helo I can fit the UAV in also the lift is centre behind the Superstructure as that is set off centre to starboard.

I tried to keep the superstucture as clean as possible to make it as stealthy as possible. The "rudder behind the drive is actually a protector from ice and debris

For Littoral ops a helo is going to be worth a lot more than the additional UAV that would replace it.

A general rule of thumb is that you can get a single embarked aircraft for every 1000-2000 tons of displacement. This ship can't be more than 6000 tons or so, hence a wing of 5-7 aircraft is the probable level.
