I re-illustrated the last two classes of CSA battleships, Nuevo Leon and Virginia.

Here are links to their encyclopedia listings, including springsharps: Nuevo Leon and Virginia

As you can see, visually, all four ships (three Nuevo Leons and the single Virginia) are very near sisters.

Beautiful... simply beautiful.
They look like I wish I could have drawn them.
Your work is amazing, man.
So 'ere's to you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, at your 'ome in old Baghdad;
You're a pore benighted 'eathen but a first-class fightin' man;
We gives you your certificate, an' if you want it signed
We'll come an' 'ave a romp with you whenever you're inclined.

I wish you could have given them 4 turrets  ;)

Virginia especially, with here length and easy sheer line is a handsome well-proportioned ship. Her freeboard was your doing, so kudos to you too.
