I will have to dig out the books, (I don't have them here) with regards
to 
the passages I read describing the ships, but so far, this sounds like
what 
I've read.  (and this is to everyone commenting of HH ships, not just
Randy.)

Randy, you've actually talked to David Weber?  Hmmmm, I had a point to
make 
with him, you'd think he'd listen to me?  Something he overlooked, and
that 
something would be a tactic Honor would use.....

Regarding HH book covers; yeah right, you're going to base ship design
on 
some artist's painting?  Someone who might have just skimmed the book? 
So 
far, the only cover I've seen that I liked and felt was a good
representation 
of Honor was the cover of Flag In Exile.  Honor Among Enemies was one of
the 
WORST depictions; didn't look anything like her, and the ship was, in my

opinion, all wrong.

After thinking about it, I see the warships as being similar to two Star

Destroyers from Star Wars being attached butt-to-butt.	Knock off the
bridge 
portion, and leave the smooth, angular mass, and that's it.
