Offensive and Defensive Firing Arcs:
This schematic is of the hull at iteration 89 (vs 109), when the Bridge height was still a deck lower. The waterlevel for almost all the rays is actually below sealevel or the ships' range of waterlines, to cope with submersibles, mines, swimmers, WMOTH (Weaponized Mammals Other Than Human), bomb boats, suicide boats, and -- if possible -- torpedoes.
I designed the superstructure to offer the ablity to fire port-side 40mm and 60mm guns to starboard and vice versa. Red color is for (IIRC) pintle-mounted crew-served .50 cal guns or for the automated .50 cal gun emplacements. Higher up, magenta can be seen for the 40mm and 60mm guns. If an in bound, sea-skimmer is trying to hit the ship, the automatic evasive manueuver suggestion program would alter the ship's heading, speed, and own aspect angle to the missile to force it to try to reacquire a better picture of the ship. In doing so, it may help the ship unmask multiple batteries (gun mounts) from either side of the ship that the Main Gun and the RAM (Rolling Airframe Missile) cannot be easily employed. 40mm and 60mm guns can, therefore, fire over or between uptakes and superstructure, and cams/cut-out switches would check or interrupt own fire to avoid damaging the ship's superstructure, striking personnel in walkable areas, or hitting communications aerials. .50 cal emplacements can be forward on the Foc's'le (Forecastle/Bow), on the 1/2 way points of the Foc's'le, on the Bridge wings, the Signal Bridge, the Main Deck below and abaft the Bridge Wings, amidships and just forward of the entry into the Hangar Bay, and down on the lower portion of the fantail below and abaft the Landing Pad.
At some point, I'll get around to creating skyward definsive coverage. For now, I wanted to verify my anti-surface defensive coverage zones and figure out safe return vectors for helos inbound while the ship herself might be engaging hostiles (say, the helo has a hot bearing alarm, or has mortally-wounded casualties, or is running on vapor, but the ships is not actively firing or engaged, but designed a radio-silence approach which if followed by design will avert the helo being shot down, while others (say the helo is commandeered on the ground, but the ship wants to give the helo the benefit of the doubt that comms are damaged (even the hand held radios, and the flashing lights) and that the last chance to survive is the "threading the needle on final approach" trick.

Here are some images of a modification of the CGHID-1298. Theire is an increase of resistance by adding a roughly-shaped fin/podded bulge to stream towed array wires. The resistance went up a bit. See the images.

Here, I am exploring modifying the aft deck, knocking off the through-deck design and reverting the flight deck height above sea level to be lower than the Atago elevation and closer to the Sejong/Burke elevation, but without any curved or sloped shape.
