Boomer, I agree it does look like a speed boat now. Maybe I should taper the aft end a little bit. From what little I've read about the PVLS, the idea is that a single hit doesn't knock out a single battery and also the cells are designed to be a type of passive armor, forcing the impact and blast up and outward instead of into the ship. That is why you see "real" PVLS on the fantail. I did it like this so that you are using the PVLS to help protect the steering gear. I think it allows for placement of more missiles there and eases the need for more steel armor around aft steering. But then again it could be my crack pipe talking.
