It looks brilliant.
As for a command center, its a gunboat..only about 8 crew, and they can easily be spread out...so it doesn't take much more of a bridge then a bomber cockpit for two...

looks a lot better now. I still think the front end is a little blunt... but it doesnt look bad necessarily, just not how i personally envision an order gunboat looking. Still, it suits the rest of the ship line.
And about the 'bomber cockpit' command center idea... brilliant. I'd love for a cockpit like the orca's to be put on this thing, clear and with 3-4 'people' inside.
EDIT:
Here, something like this (paint ftw?):
![[Image: 2cpuwk9.jpg]](http://i30.tinypic.com/2cpuwk9.jpg)
A cockpit modelled in that area, putting it at the back of the ship. Clear glass, orca cockpit shape (maybe a little more 'squarish').

I like the raised bit at the Back, Aiden, it's a nice touch, but you need some knid of bridge round the absolute midsection; fairly large in comparison to what Tenacity drew, shaped like a seriously oversized Borderworlds cockpit, double sided, and textured as such. I might also suggest some kind of fins or stubby little wings sticking out of the midsection, prefferably going downwards...

I love the idea. Love it.

Well, given that I modelled this design on a second world world war U-Boat I'm partial to a U-Boat style conning tower, see image below.
Conning Tower
And for anyone interested I present the Type XXI German U-Boat

I really like the shape of this design. It is very unique but suits its role perfectly.

WINNER
Whatever it becomes, it fits.

It looks nice, compact and fitting as already said.

If you going to keep with the "submarine" motif (of which i approve mightily I might add) How about adding stub wings in leu of diving planes to use as hard points for weapons. Or,, if you prefer an entirely "internal" design like modern boomer class subs.. add blisters/turret hard points at the salient pts on it's hull.
It looks more like an attack sub then a boomer ,, so in my opinion you got it just about right.
good job,
Hammer
