This is awesome!! Reminds me of the heavily armed Russian hydrofoils Sarancha/Uragan and Babochka!

Carbon-Vanilla already pointed out a few little issues, in all honesty I don't see any of the cannons being as much of a problem (30m cannons WERE mounted on the Russian hydrofoils after all) but the the placement of the missile launchers is trouble - they'll blow that conning tower right off!! Sarancha-class solves this by mounting them on the sides of the ship, and ships like Pegasus-class angles them outwards (since they're mounted on the rear deck)

The part about the screws too - they'll be out of the water! See how they're mounted on a Sarancha-class rp-one.net/shipbucket_profiles…

I'm sorry if any of this sounds picky! I know it's just concept design, and in that case people can take all the liberties they want, but I believe that the most effective concept design is a good combination of cool-factor and technical believability.

 I REALLY love the overall look of this vessel, it's sleek menacing! :D
