While impressive overall I wonder if her gun layout could be improved. A single bomb aft will cost her all her 57mm guns most likely - if her large magazins at that spot do not explode. Might leave her valnurable to other attacks.

Why don't you put her torps on weather deck level? Raising them just adds topweight.
