Symmetrical modest armament, slender sleek hull with internal armor scheme on newer ships to keep the hull lines clean. Blocky superstructure with curved decks around turrets.
I'd say out of all the historical designs the SAE ships resemble a combination of French, German and British esthetics.

I'd agree with Wes' assessment, adding that two funnels seem to be common, and common twin turret shape is consistent...though I'm not sure how to descripe it. If you build 3x3 ships, it's going to ruin everything!

Then there is India. The Doc produces clear lines when drawing his ships. Could be because of lacking details but I also think his ships are meant to be straightforward or even unadored/business-like.

Typical for italian ships are their long and sometimes very slender hulls with shallow sterns and Italy is AFAIK the only nation to build ships were superfiring barbets are "stand-alones". Ah, and don´t forget those "funnel-farms" called DDs...
