I'd suggest you flip the angles on your Harpoons, so they fire over opposite corners - you'd get better exhaust dispersion that way. If you're going to use 3" Oto guns, might as well go for broke and put in mk45's instead of the 5" guns. Don't forget you'll want a SPQ-9 for the surface search radar to direct your 3" guns. You'll also want a place for two additional phalanx mounts - straddling the stack is one idea, it would give aft coverage. That said, she looks pretty good - borrows a lot of Iowa to achieve the effect, but she's well executed. I have my own thoughts for a modernized SoDak concept.
