Hyūga-class helicopter destroyer

I particularly like the spot lights on the island and those logically placed for hatches, ladders, small boat decks and stair platforms.
The animated signalers with lighted wands and protective clothing are a nice touch.

thanks for the comments and suggestions are important to be able to improve the models
 
I dont want to be to picky, however naval ships at sea fly their sea ensigns from the main mast

its only when in harbour, anchor or at the buoy they shift their flags at both ends

any ship with a flight deck of any sort will most definitely will strike any staff at sea that may inhibit flying operations

any possibility of relocating the sea ensign


Thank for the explanation, the ensign was moved to the right place

I was on her sister in pearl for a forenoon during RIMPAC '14 for several briefings and conferences, she was the Command Ship for all Maritime interceptions and boarding's for that exercise

The equivalent to my role took me for a tour around the ship, she was unbelievably clean for a warship, they definitely took care of her

I took this from our FLTDK

Excellent work, Jeansy.

I had occasion to board a Japanese cruiser while at New Orleans some years back. They were on a RTW cruise. Again, the ship - and the crew - were spotlessly clean. You could eat off the decks on that ship. Seems to be a "thing" with them.

The Russian cruiser I was on at Pearl in '95 was another story.

thanks mate, now the next one, if you really want to be a step ahead of many(IAW AFTP1 NATO OPs manual) flag Hotel flying from the mast means flight operations are in progress, since a large number of Navies follow that direction, many more adopted(also in the civil world flag hotel means i have pilot onboard) so you can see how the mil went same same but different

if you can throw that up there, you are well above the bell curve for realism

yup yup, I saw some off some western middle eastern countries that border the red sea back in 2015, the Chinese are another mob you can lick the deck and fittings without fear, while looking MH370 in 2014 we interacted with the Chinese as they had a far larger interest than the Malaysians by sending a whole battle group and air wing compared to one small frigate , anyway the modern warships we sailed with look like they just left the dockyard even after sea state **** in 10-15m seas 40-60kts of wind and near 0*C temps
