I'd say that this design is spot on for the intended role. She's an excellent seaboat, with a good reserve of strength to take pounding in the North Atlantic. Her armament is adequate for the AS role and is not too bad for AA defense. I'm presuming that the misc weight allowance would have a good sensor suite and AS armament outfit.
