Thoughts?

The drawing does not match the description - there's no angled bow in the description.

Some of the specifications seem to imply her role as a destroyer leader, but you say she's supposed to be a fast transport. Why not ditch some of the torpedo tubes, in that case? Ten is rather high for a transport, even a fighting one.

The 47mm and .50cal guns are AA guns and MGs, riiiiight?

I never bother with bow agles in SS2, it doesnt change anything.

Her role is to be a minelayer, transport, and leader for a minelaying squadron. She doesn`t actually carry torpedoes. The torpedoes are just there to simulate the space required for the boats carried.

The light guns are typos.

Here is the original Filipino ship:

Is this a picture of yours?

No that's a drawing of the actual OTL ships. It's from the website above. I wish I could draw that good.
