I do like the "Knight's Visor" style grating instead of that awful decorative balcony. Looks a bit more military at least, even if it serves no tactical purpose.
Make the body a bit bigger and longer than a Dunkirk and reduce that chin by 50% and you have yourself a class carrier. The body is actually really well designed just needs some nip tucks here'n'there and she's ready to go.
Its good to see positive opinions about the ship. Its not yet ready in terms of resizing, model, textured so don't go rough on it. From what I know Jinx promised to rework it a bit but nothing too much.
About the frontal part, if you didn't noticed its huge because its the only part of the ship where could be placed the quarters of the whole crew. The back side of the head contains 3 bomber hangars, most of which are stored inside the head. The fighter hangars (those wings left/right side) are small but the ships that come out of them are being stored inside the "main body". Also the ship is build in RP with primary aspect to "carry what is left in to the field" instead "to be a luxury ship like the good old dunkirk". It must look strange and uncomplete to fit best in its lore.
Personal thoughts: Just lift that sunken nose section up to be in line with the rest of the ship (via a narrow "neck" like the standard BretBS - right now it has trouble fitting inside a shipyard berth). Maybe shorten the launch tubes a bit to prevent those from sticking, and slant them backwards to prevent the ship from getting stuck behind debris or roids. But it is up to Jinx really

Just lift the entire front of the ship upwards to join midsection more and make chin even more glorious. Sturdy warship design is what Bretonians need. I never understood neccesity for such fragile Bretonian designs... 'Kirk's front looks as if it is about to break all the time.

It serves no purpose at all. I dislike that grating more than the chin. Otherwise, it is a pretty neat ship.
