Looks good. I'm tempted to make the hull Average (just like the MvB BB
and the smaller ships), adding a third fighter bay and a fourth C3
(FP/F/FS) for extra offensive punch - but that'd make the offensive
armament heavier than that of the Szent Istvan-class BDNs from which it
was derived in addition to the extra fighters <g> Jon (GZG), was this
the one you were thinking of at SELWG?

...and of course its Strong hull is almost twice as durable as the
Average hull of the MvB class :-/
